What's going wrong

Many site owners using this WordPress admin color plugin report that it stops working on sites running PHP 7 or later. Reviews spanning several years describe errors on saving and a sense that the plugin has been abandoned, with support questions going unanswered for long periods. Owners who like its simple one-task design feel forced to either keep old PHP versions, which is a security risk, or hunt for unofficial forks. This leaves sites stuck between an insecure host setup and a broken feature. There is room for a maintained compatibility fork or a managed service that keeps legacy admin tools running on current PHP versions.
