Is Event Espresso 4 compatible with PHP 7?

Hi there, I’m searching and trying to find docs on this, but can’t seem to find the answer easily.

Is Event Espresso 4 compatible with PHP 7?

I tried using WP Engine’s compatibility checker, but it says the files are too large and the server stopped scanning them. So the result is “unknown”

Thanks for the help.

Hi there,

Yes EE4 is compatible with PHP 7 however, it is not compatible with bytecode caching (such as Opache or APC) so if those are enabled by your host they will need to be disabled.

Thank you for this. In case it’s useful for anyone else to know, WP Engine has told me they don’t use either of those caching systems. They don’t use bytecode caching and are using object and Varnish cache.

I hope that saves somebody some minutes!

Thank you for posting your findings, with the above caching systems have you set the EE4 critical pages (and pages using the ticket selector) to be excluded from caching?

We have some documentation on how to set up WP Engine to work with EE here:
