PHP (7.4) Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘|’

    Live site uses PHP 7.4, plugin (version 4.6.1) says it supports PHP 7.1+

    WordPress crashes giving following error:

    PHP message: PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '|', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /wp-content/plugins/groundhogg/includes/utils/date-time-helper.php on line 15

    Which is this line:

    public function __construct( $datetime = 'now', \DateTimeZone|string $timezone = null ) {

    Possible solution maybe to make plugin compatible with declared PHP version or declare PHP version that is supported by the plugin.

    This will prevent updating plugin to the latest version for live sites that are still using old PHP.

    Thanks.

    We’ve flagged this with the dev team to fix. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

    Strange that this only appeared as an issue for you now, since that’s been there since June. Nevertheless, our build workflow should have caught that.

    We’d recommend updating PHP to at least 8.2 as that is what we’re currently recommending to customers.
