2.0.18 and php 7.0.33

[lather]

It seems like the main point of 2.0.18 is compatibility with php 7.4. I have seen a lot of posts about problems upgraded ti 18 from 17. Since my sever is only
running php version 7.0.33 and my forum is running fine I am inclined to stay at 17 for now.

Well, 7.4 compatibility was A point of 2.0.18 - but there was a lot more to it than that.

I tried the package upgrade to 18 a while ago but got an error on profile-modify. Seems to be code from member map mod. Will try manual edit in the morning. I'm on a metered account so will wait till unmetered jors for backup.

My attempt to upgrade to 2.0.18 was getting an error in Profile-Modify. The culprit was the Google member Map mod code. I unsinstalled 3.0.4 and the .18 upgrade went though. I then installed Memember Map version 3.0.5 and all is well.
