Replacing mysql_escape_string in a custom plugin when moving to PHP7

You don’t need to sanitize the variables that are passed to wp_update_post() because wp_update_post() after some checks pass the data to wp_insert_post() and wp_insert_post() calls sanitize_post(), which does the sanitization of all arguments. Also add_post_meta and update_post_meta also do all the sanitization for you. To answer your question I would replace mysql_escape_string with $wpdb->esc_sql($_POST[$value]). It … Read more

Which themes do you use to test compatibilities with your plugin [closed]

Themes, anyone? I don’t test »against« or »with« themes. Just with some other plugins that might conflict (but I normally leave that open until something happens – you’ll never figure out all edge cases).

Error: Declaration of MyClass::start_lvl() should be compatible with that of Walker_Nav_Menu::start_lvl()

From class Walker_Nav_Menu: function start_lvl( &$output, $depth = 0, $args = array() ) Your child class must use the same signature: three arguments, the first one passed by reference. Every difference will raise the error you got. Note that $args defaults to an empty array, but you get an instance of stdClass, not an array. … Read more
