Frequently asked questions.
Is it compatible with latest WordPress?
Yes, it is, as well as with the latest PHP.
I’ve removed the ‘pass-by-reference’ call for all array( $this, … ) entries as it’s deprecated since 5.3.0. If you happen to use 5.2.4, you can replace all $this in arrays with &$this or better update PHP version.
