SMF 2.0 does not support php 7.2 at this time. you need to use something lower.

one.com offers 7.1 (am on that host, all works great).

Choose in dropdown menu for php in control panel.

if they do that, it will partially uninstall all the mods. it may be easier to install the patches in the package manager.

see attach. 7.2 the new default, 7.1 offered for compatibility, 5.6 & 7.0 leaving the building.
Have a chat with one support if any questions.

2.0.15 going great with 7.1, some older mods may need tweaks \ fixes.

Upgrade done and all working fine peeps!
One.com will support php7.1 till 12/2019 so I hope the SMF software will be updated also till then to work with php7.2

You should have a VPS so you call the shots of when things happen so transitioning is on your time and not theirs.

not everyone knows enough to manage a VPS or dedicated server themselves.

Congrats.

7.1 till 12\2019 gives breathing space so no worries. I'd hate to leave that host, things been working so well.
But anyway, SMF 2.1 will of course be ready long before that date ! (?) :O)

True, however there are managed VPS hosts out there. The cost factor is usually the issue.
