 * Hi,
    after updating the php version to 8, I encounter problems with my WordPress
   theme. I’ve tried to find solutions without any luck. Is there any common problems
   when upgrading? Or is there maybe a guide on general things to do to make themes
   work in PHP 8?
 * Many thanks in advance!

 * First, which theme is it? The best thing to do is ask in the support forum for
   that theme.
 * As a general statement, there’s no one thing that anyone could suggest. You would
   need to know what the errors are and be able to work through them updating the
   code to make it work with PHP8. That is more of a dev thing, and may not be easy
   to do.
