Latest version and PHP

    Hello,

    I updated to the latest NextGen (3.5), and noticed you said it contained updates to make it compatible up to PHP 8.0.

    We have the latest WP version and PHP 7.4. I still get this error when saving settings in NextGen: “Call to undefined function ctype_lower()”

    I noticed that if I go to an earlier PHP, it doesn’t give that error.

    Please advise, thanks!

    I am also unable to upload images now, and getting that same error when trying to ‘manage’ a gallery. I deactivated all the plugins and used the 2021 theme, still getting the error! And I cannot change the “custom styles” option, which you say has been depreciated, same error when I try. It is stuck on “yes,” so don’t know if that is contributing to the problem. Can I change that in the database for now? Can’t find the setting for it there.

    Also, when I said earlier versions of PHP don’t give that error, I was referring to testing I did with that a few months ago. Now our website host doesn’t give an option for any earlier versions than 7.3. So, I can’t go back even if I wanted to. So, I really need some help with this.

    Thanks!

    Okay, turns out that our website host, FatCow, does not yet have the ctype module working with their latest PHP. Had to go back to PHP 7.3, and it’s working, not getting the ctype error. (I had previously neglected to clear the browser cache when testing that version before.)

    I resolved this issue on Fatcow by requesting they install the ctype module, which they had in PHP 7.3 but not 7.4.
