@vinzen, wait a little or accept yes and no ;-). PHP 7.0.0 RC 1 is out since 2015/08/21…. RC version should not be used on production sites.
WordPress and BP are both guaranted to work only on the latest stable release of anything needed to get them to work. But you can test at your own risk, RC’s and trunk version are avaible for that.
php7 has a projected release date of November 2015. Next WP release is scheduled in december 2015. And BP around october…
WP devs are already using php7 for unit test. More from here (WP) and here (BP).
Any updates on PHP 7 compatibility (2.5.2)? 🙂
Best regards,
Michael
I just tested my whole Website with PHP7.
I have 19 PlugIns activated. 18 are working fine – except BuddyPress.
I really don’t know why but even simple functions like “messages_get_unread_count()” get an Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function messages_get_unread_count().
bp_get_messages_slug and many more gives me the same error.
Can anyone help?
Do you have the private messages component activated?
Yes sir.
Just found the problem:
my import of my SQL file was a little bit failed. Everything was fine but BuddyPress was corrupted – I don’t know why! Fixed it!
Now I can test PHP7. First opinion: it’s sensible faster on localhost.
I’ll install PHP7 later on my Debian Server to test.
Thanks for the feedback!
I am now testing it on my developer site. Also noticed problems with BuddyPress after restoring via VaultPress to my developer site. I got this error:
require(): Failed opening required 'Xd#�F+' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php70/pear') in /home/****/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-classes.php on line 14
and
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 549755814048 bytes) in /home/****/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-component.php on line 370
So it seems that BuddyPress needs to be updated for PHP 7.0.6+
Best regards,
Michael
Has there been any update on this, i.e. is BuddyPress fully compatible with PHP 7 at this point?
