PHP update issue

Hello

Concerns have been raised already in this forum about not being able to update PHP versions due to having Hit Counter Max installed. I have consulted the discussions and noted an absence of public closure in relation to the queries raised. One such example can be found at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/manual-fix-for-php-7-x/ . Yesterday, a colleague representing my host provider tried to assist me by updating my current version (5.6) of PHP to version 7.4, but I required to deactivate the plugin to allow him to do this. When I in turn reactivated the plugin, a fatal error was reported.

Could I please have up-to-date advice on how to address this issue without having a lingering issue with “Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in /var/www/wp-content/plugins/hit-counter-max/image.php on line 186” appearing at the top of a webpage (as reported by the user at the above link).

I think that Hit Counter Max is a super plugin. However, I cannot continue indefinitely without updating my version of PHP. I have the plugin set to give automatic updates. Ideally, the plugin itself would have been revised to address the reported conflict with PHP updates.
