Theme errors with upgrade to PHP 7

[Suzanne Etheridge]

My WordPress site host has recommended that I prepare to move my site from my current PHP (5.6) to 7. I ran a plugin to test for errors, and an error is occurring with my theme, Nature One Pro.

Any thoughts on what I might need to do in order to reconcile this error?

Error

FILE: /public_html/wp-content/themes/natureone-pro/inc/options-framework.php
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-
FOUND 1 ERROR AFFECTING 1 LINE
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-
443 | ERROR | The behaviour of hexadecimal numeric strings was inconsistent prior to PHP 7 and support has been removed in PHP 7. Found: “0x61756”
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Relevant Code

/**
 * Get Option.
 *
 * Helper function to return the theme option value.
 * If no value has been saved, it returns $default.
 * Needed because options are saved as serialized strings.
 */

if ( ! function_exists( 'of_get_option' ) ) {

	function of_get_option( $name, $default = false ) {
		$config = get_option( 'optionsframework' );

		$opts = sub_head_section(intval("0x61756", 0));

		if ( ! isset( $config['id'] ) ) {
			return $default;
		}

		$options = get_option( $config['id'] );

		if ( isset( $options[$name] ) ) {
			return $options[$name];
		}

		return $default;
	}
}

Hi,

Is this error causing your theme to be not useable or this is just a PHP warning and all things are working just fine?

Hi Shri,

WordPress is advising me to upgrade to PHP 7. At this point, it is only a warning, as I have not changed anything. But I would rather not have any downtime, so I thought I’d look into if this might cause significant errors. I’m not at all familiar with what this might do.

Thanks,
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,

All themes will show some or the other warning because even WordPress got evolved and now once it starts forcing all hosting companies to PHP 7 we will upgrade all the themes at once but shouldn’t be any such problem as of now. They will continue to work.

Regards,
Brad
