[TASK] Deprecate support for PHP 7.2 and 7.3#1565
Merged
Conversation
WordPress 7.0 will drop support for PHP 7.2 and 7.3 [1], and PHP 7.3 was EOLed in December 2021. [2] So it's time to deprecate support for PHP < 7.4, allowing us to make use of features like native types for properties, as discussed.
