WordPress is planning to raise its minimum PHP version requirement and if all goes according to plan, we will have a required minimum of PHP 7.2+ for December 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alain says: \u201cFew WordPress plugin developers currently know how to make the best use of the language features that PHP 7.2+ provides. That’s why I worked on a new open source plugin boilerplate that provides you with a robust, strictly typed OOP framework and incorporates a lot of applied best practices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this session, he will introduce this new boilerplate and go into the details of why this can improve your plugin code and reduce its maintenance cost in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
