 * Hello! I’m a representative on behalf of ABC of Southwest Texas. Currently I 
   am trying to update the PHP version of the website to a version that isn’t at
   EOL. It’s currently at 7.4, and when I ran it through a php compatibility scanner,
   Updraft appeared as one of the plugins causing issues.
 * Could you tell me what I can do to remedy this situation, as a pinned topic is
   saying that at least 8.0 is compatible. Does this mean I can only upgrade up 
   to 8.0? Because 8.0 is also at EOL.

 * Above is what the scanner is telling me. If you need all 84 errors found with
   upgrading to PHP 8.3 let me know. Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fincompatible-with-php-8-3-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * UpdraftPlus is compatible with PHP 8.3, so you are not limited to PHP 8.0.
 * Could you please confirm which UpdraftPlus version you are currently using? If
   possible, please also share the full compatibility report/errors. I can then 
   check this further with our developers.
 * Best Wishes,
   Bryle

   that data here will not and cannot work here. It just creates a mess that has
   no value.

 * Hi,
   Just wanted to follow up on the compatibility scanner results. We appreciate
   you using the tool to check your PHP code, but we want to be upfront about its
   limitations. Sometimes scanners can flag things that aren’t actually causing 
   problems, and it can only check what’s in the code, not how it’s used or if it’s
   being used in a way that’s compatible with the old and latest PHP versions. This
   means it might flag some deprecated functions that are still safe to use on older
   PHP versions, but not on the latest ones. Let us know if you have any questions
   or if there’s anything else we can do to help.ThanksAnthon

 * As long as you all verify that Updraft is compatible with 8.3, I’m fine, and 
   you did confirm. Thank you.
