In preparation for upgrading all of our servers to PHP 7.2, we are taking a proactive approach to resolving all 7.2 fatal errors and warnings. As a result, we are creating patches for fatal errors, testing, deploying, and then notifying clients. Our fixes will address fatal errors first, then warnings.
Although we are deploying these patches, please take a moment to review them, as they are focused specifically on resolving PHP 7.2 fatals and warnings, and not necessarily on resolving long-term issues.
Additionally, we strongly recommend you test PHP 7.2 in your local or preproduction environment, to resolve any fatal errors or warnings that may occur.
If you have any questions, please open a ticket, or reply to tickets where we’ve notified you about PHP 7.2-related errors or deploys. We look forward to bringing the security, stability, and performance improvements of PHP 7.2 to WordPress.com VIP.
