[Support request] PHP 8 compatibility

[Edivaldo]

Hi,

Can you let me know if GeneratePress and GP Premium are PHP 8 compatible?

Hi there,

We haven’t encountered any incompatibilities in our tests.

You will need to use WordPress 5.6 if you’re upgrading to PHP 8, as WordPress itself has some issues that they’ve fixed in 5.6.

Hello,

I’m wondering if Generate Press is compatible with PHP 8.0? I just tried to update and an error and critical site error similar to what is on this page:

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-few-arguments-to-function-wp_widget__construct/

I just updated yesterday to WordPress 6.0 so maybe that wasn’t actually a good move.

I quickly downgraded from 8.0 to 7.4 again, and the site came back.

I have my full error, but wasn’t sure if I should post it here?

Thank you,
Norm

Hi there,

as Tom said, we have had no reported issues that we can relate to the Theme, and the few sites i have running PHP 8.0 are working fine.

Could you raise a new topic where you can share the error in a Code block and we can take a look 🙂

I use php 8.1.0 FPM/FastCGI on multiple sites with GP with no issues.
