regex incompatibility with PCRE2 on PHP 7.3

[GigiSan]

Hello there,

As described on this support topic , the plugin does not work on PHP 7.3 due to incompatibility with the new regex library PCRE2.

I found a fix that seems to be working, but not being expert on regexes, I do not guarantee it as a permanent solution. Anyway, if that's the solution, feel free to copy and release at your own risk. :)

Regards,

Hi,

For those who still have to make things work with this module, the quick fix provided in the link works :

in wp-content / plugins / bb-messages / Inc / Core / init.php

There are 2 regex paterns that will break with PHP > 7.3 (and PCRE2)

Yo can check / troubleshoot them using regex101.

Replacing \z by * in these paterns will fix the errors.
