Seems to be an error with some "Jalali" plugin. Have you tried asking the developer for a fix?

tnx - ok fix

Answer 1

The split function was removed in PHP 7. Can be replaced by preg_split or explode depending on the circumstances.

I'm guessing this is the plugin you're using? In which case you'll need to change line 9 of gregorian2jalali-overrides.php from this:

@list($g_y, $g_m, $g_d)=split('[,]',date("Y,m,d",$timestamp));

to this:

@list($g_y, $g_m, $g_d) = explode(',',date("Y,m,d",$timestamp));

Hope that helps. If you're able to report the issue (and fix) to the developer, please do.
