XF 2.1 "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later." after upgrade to PHP 7.3

Good morning.

My server was running PHP 7.0 and my Xenforo was working fine. I asked my webhost to upgrade my PHP to 7.3. They did, and it was successful. However, now when I visit my forum I get the error message of "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later."

I honestly can't remember if I was running Xenforo 2.1 or 2.2.

Could someone please tell me how I may go about fixing this and getting my forum back up?

Thank you in advance.
 
You may be able to log in to the ACP directly to check the error log.

Otherwise, enable debug mode - that should give a detailed error message.
 
Thank you for this quick and helpful reply.

Trying to access the ACP directly resulted in the same error.

Entering the debug mode provided the following feedback:


An exception occurred: [ErrorException] [E_WARNING] "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"? in src/XF/Language.php on line 458

Thank you again.

I have no add-ons installed at all.

I will revert back.

Wordpress on my other sites was complaining that 7.0 was not secure. Can I go to version 7.2 instead? What is the newest version of PHP that Xenforo should work with?
