Hi there, as mentioned in my original post, I deactivated every other plugin, one at a time, to see if there was a conflict, and it is only wpdiscuz that does not work with PHP7.3. If there is any advice you can give so that I can dig in to this a bit that would be much appreciated. cheers.

Hi @daisypeel,

First of all, please check the server configuration of both sites.

The issue doesn't come from wpDiscuz for sure. As you've also confirmed that on one of your websites it works fine.

Deactivated every other plugin, one at a time, to see if there was a conflict

Probably one of the conflict of plugins with one another. Please deactivate one by one and check after each deactivation to find a problem maker.

Updated to PHP 7.3 today on a couple of sites running wpdiscuz. On one site all is well, but on the other site, updating to PHP 7.3 killed the site. Deactivated wpdiscuz, site is fine. Activated it, site dead. Deactivated every other plugin, one at a time, to see if there was a conflict. No. Just wpdiscuz. Rolled back to php 7.0, fine. php 7.1 fine. php 7.2 kills wpdiscuz and site. php 7.3 as well. Please advise as I'd like to be running latest php.
