Could you try running a [conflict test](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/testing-for-conflicts/)? I suggest conducting these tests on a [Staging Server](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/). * If that doesn’t help, could you provide the full error message and the version of the following? 1.

For now, please update to PHP 7.4, it would be best to use this version that we fully support. * If you don’t have access in creating a staging site from your server, you could try using the [WP Staging plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/) instead. This will allow you to create a staging site from your WP Admin dashboard. * Let me know how it goes. * Thread Starter [trinitysummerside](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trinitysummerside/) * (@trinitysummerside) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-error-227/#post-16255850) * Sorry for the delay. We have finally upgraded the PHP to 8. The errors have gone away from the site, and the new calendar works. * But the home page plugin isn’t working.
