WP is PHP 8 ready, but plugins aren't. Some hosts are dropping PHP 7.4 support in January, I know it's causing problems for those who haven't done good maintenance deals.
- mobilio 4y agoAlso some themes or theme builders aren't compatible too.
- josefresco 4y agoCorrect. Every decent theme and plugin publishes a handful of updates every year. Locking your WP site "in time" is not a viable option. If that's your strategy, just build a static HTML site.
- dncornholio 4y agoTheme and plugin updates keep rolling in.. I'm only locking the PHP version until all themes and plugins the site uses are compatible with 8. A hosting provider that forces people to PHP 8 is not a good hosting platform for WordPress.
- josefresco 4y ago> Some hosts are dropping PHP 7.4 support in January Ding ding ding! This guys WordPresses. Even outside my network which is in decent shape, I have clients scrambling because they've ignored PHP updates for 2+ years. Sometimes burying your head in the sand is not the best strategy.
