It could also be a plugin( especially since you got the error on the dashboard), so you could try disabling your plugins and try activating PHP 8.0 to see if that fixes the issue. * — Anders * Thread Starter [ivohuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivohuber/) * (@ivohuber) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-0-30/#post-15385803) * Thanks Anders! I disabled all plugins but I doesn´t help. Would it be possible to check Chaplin on PHP 8.0 from your side? * Theme Author [Anders Norén](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anlino/) * (@anlino) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-0-30/#post-15393097) * Hi [@ivohuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivohuber/), * I’ll try to test it with PHP 8.0 soon. I’d recommend you to stick with an earlier PHP version for now. * — Anders * Theme Author [Anders Norén](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anlino/) * (@anlino) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-0-30/#post-15393121) * Hi again [@ivohuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivohuber/), * I decided to give it a try immediately after all, and I don’t get any errors running Chaplin on PHP 8.0.8 and WordPress 5.9.1. Are you running the latest version of WordPress on your site? * — Anders * Thread Starter [ivohuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivohuber/) * (@ivohuber) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-0-30/#post-15395407) * Thanks Anders for your efforts that´s great. I am running the latest version of WordPress 5.9.1. I have tested PHP 8.0 with and without boost. The page is running but I allways get an error opening the dashboard.

I will switch to PHP 8.0 tonight again and make a screenshot. * Thread Starter [ivohuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivohuber/) * (@ivohuber) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-0-30/#post-15396151) * How do I send a screenshot? * [intellivision](https://wordpress.org/support/users/intellivision/) * (@intellivision) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-0-30/#post-15397385) * I don’t know if it helps or not, but Chaplin works for me in php 8.1. But note I’m a couple of Chaplin versions behind. WP is most recent (auto update). * Theme Author [Anders Norén](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anlino/) * (@anlino) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-0-30/#post-15398469) * [@ivohuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivohuber/) You can just copy the text in the error message and post it here. * Thread Starter [ivohuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivohuber/) * (@ivohuber) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-0-30/#post-15398550) * Ok. here it is: Es gab einen kritischen Fehler auf deiner Website.

But since Chaplin is working on 8.X for [@intellivision](https://wordpress.org/support/users/intellivision/) and in my local testing, I don’t think it’s Chaplin specific. You can try switching to a different theme, like Twenty Twenty-One, and then activating 8.0 again to verify. * I’d recommend you to get in touch with your host to see if their support can help you troubleshoot. * Thread Starter [ivohuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ivohuber/) * (@ivohuber) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-0-30/#post-15398973) * [@anlino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anlino/) Thanks I have contacted my provider. I will let you know.
