Hi Folks,

When we upgraded to PHP 8, our backend generated a fatal error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token “::”, expecting “(” in /wp-content/plugins/search-regex/models/search.php on line 322

Uninstalling the plugin via FTP resolved the error.

Is your plugin compatible with PHP 8?

Cheers,
Steve

I have the same problem. Apparently there is a major upgrade in the works with a Bata version available on GitHub if you want to test it out.

A work around I tried a few months ago was rolling PHP back to an earlier version, doing what I needed to do on my site, and then updating to v8 again. Not ideal but it got the job done. I have a whole bunch of changes I need to make again … wish the new version was ready already.

As mentioned in other threads, the beta works with PHP 8
