I have not tested PHP 8.1.x yet. However in your case I suspect that there might be a conflict with a plugin and or your theme. You should carry out a plugin and theme conflict test. This will confirm to you if your issue is related to one of your plugins and or theme and not Widget Options. * Kind regards. - This reply was modified 3 years, 4 months ago by [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/). * Plugin Author [Mej de Castro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mej/) * (@mej) * [3 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-update-plugin-crashes-website/#post-16340176) * Hi [@mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) , thank you for your support here. The whole Widget Options team appreciated it. 🙂 Hi [@mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/), yes, please follow through [@mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) suggestions.
