White Screen & Deprecated Function Error When Using Defender

    Ignore this post, the issue is due to a conflict with the WordPress theme not the deprecated function.

    Details:

    • WordPress Version: 6.8.2
    • PHP Version: 8.4.4
    • Defender Version: 5.3.1

    Hi Team,

    I’ve installed Defender on a local development environment and attempted to set it up, but each time I access any of the Defender features, I encounter a white screen of death.

    After enabling error reporting, I received the following message:

    Deprecated: version_compare(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($version2) of type string is deprecated in ../wp-content/plugins/defender-security/src/component/security-tweaks/class-php-version.php on line 85

    It appears this issue is triggered under PHP 8.4 due to a deprecated use of version_compare().

    Could you please advise whether a fix is planned or available? If there’s a recommended workaround in the meantime, I’d appreciate your guidance.

    Hello @arizos,

    I hope you’re doing well.

    I’m glad you found the issue, and I hope you have fixed it too.

    Regarding the Defender, I checked the same environment with PHP, WordPress, and Defender version, but I couldn’t replicate the deprecated notices in the PHP logs.

    If you still found something more, you can feel free to share with us.
