This is a simple plugin which automatically hides inactive (orphan) shortcode tags you have used for previous themes and/or plugins. It uses the_content filter to search for shortcode tags which are not active and simply removes them from your post/page content (note the shortode tags won’t be deleted form your content, they will just be removed temporarily on your website frontend). It is a great solution if you want to avoid manual removal of old shortcode tags from your entire content.

Remove Orphan Shortcodes

Any gutenberg block storing an array in block attributes JSON is flagged as a shortcode. As most blocks using JSON attributes also use render_callback and server-side rendering, this causes the block to disappear entirely - broken JSON is hard to parse.

Ergo, don't use this if you also use ACF, because any repeater or relationship field in a block can cause the entire thing to disappear.

Quickly remove unused (orphan) shortcode tags from your content.

The WP Engine PHP Compatibility Checker can be used by any WordPress website on any web host to check PHP version compatibility.
This plugin will lint theme and plugin code installed on your WordPress site and give you back a report of compatibility issues as reported by <a href="https://wptide.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Tide</a> for you to fix. Compatibility issues are categorized into errors and warnings and will list the file and line number of the offending code, as well as the info about why that line of code is incompatible with the chosen version of PHP. The plugin will also suggest updates to themes and plugins, as a new version may offer compatible code.
This plugin does not execute your theme and plugin code, as such this plugin cannot detect runtime compatibility issues.
Please note that linting code is not perfect. This plugin cannot detect unused code-paths that might be used for backwards compatibility, and thus might show false positives. We maintain a <a href="https://github.com/wpengine/phpcompat/wiki/Results" rel="nofollow ugc">whitelist of plugins</a> that can cause false positives. We are continuously working to ensure the checker provides the most accurate results possible.
This plugin relies on <a href="https://wptide.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Tide</a> that constantly scans updated versions of plugins and themes in the background. Your scan results should be near real-time, but if not that just means Tide has not yet scanned your specific plugin or theme version. Please be patient as this may take up to 10 minutes for results to be returned from Tide. Please see the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/faq/" rel="ugc">FAQ</a> for more information.
<h4>Update to PHP 7.4</h4>
<ul>
<li>Use this plugin to check your site for compatibility up to PHP 8.0!</li>
<li>As of <a href="https://wordpress.org/about/stats/" rel="ugc">July 2022</a>, 8.52% of WordPress websites run a PHP version older than PHP 7.0.</li>
<li>These versions of PHP have been <a href="https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php" rel="nofollow ugc">deprecated and unsupported</a> for over 2 years.</li>
<li>Only 7.1% of WordPress websites run PHP 8, the current main version of PHP.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Disclaimer</h4>
While this plugin is written to detect as many problems as accurately as possible, 100% reliable detection is very difficult to ensure. It is best practice to run comprehensive tests before you migrate to a new PHP version.
The plugin was created by WP Engine to help the WordPress community increase adoption of modern PHP versions. We <a href="https://github.com/wpengine/phpcompat" rel="nofollow ugc">welcome contributors</a> to this plugin, and are excited to see how developers and other WordPress hosts use this plugin.

PHP Compatibility Checker

WordPress recommends updating my site from PHP 7.3 and suggests using this plugin to check for compatibility. However this plugin doesn't go beyond PHP 7.3. The plugin's last update was almost a year ago. Seems like the developer abandoned it. It's useless now.

Outdated, plugin abandoned?


Either update the plugin or take it down.  


Ironically not compatible with the latest PHP

Make sure your plugins and themes are compatible with newer PHP versions.
