Is this a bug that needs to be reported? Do I need CLI to use version PHP 7.4?

Being a commerical plugin with dedicated support you should seek assistance from WP All Import Pro support directly if you’re still getting the `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’` error after upgrading to PHP 7.4.The second error is often associated with PHP versions as well. Do be aware that WP CLI may be running a different version of PHP than the web server is configured to run.`php --version` on the command line will tell you which version you’re actually using.While PHP 7.4 is the minimum required by these plugins, you should test and consider upgrading to PHP 8.0 or 8.2 which are current. * Thread Starter [WebsThatRock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/websthatrock/) * (@websthatrock) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cli-parse-error/#post-17494915) * Thank you, I’ve been doing some testing and came up with some answers. I restored the database and files from March 1st and the import worked fine BUT when I clicked on “unsuspend transients” from the plugin Transients Manager from [https://www.wpbeginner.com/](https://www.wpbeginner.com/) the errors popped up and I cannot import via CLI. What can be done to clean up the transients on the website? * Thread Starter [WebsThatRock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/websthatrock/) * (@websthatrock) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cli-parse-error/#post-17494942) * I just used the plugins to delete the transients but when I try another import the same errors pop up. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cli-parse-error/#post-17495056) * Are the errors consistently for WooCommerce? * If so, I recommend getting in touch with WooCommerce’s support about this via [https://woo.com/my-account/contact-support/](https://woo.com/my-account/contact-support/) if you have any of their paid WooCommerce products or [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/) if you do not. * Thread Starter [WebsThatRock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/websthatrock/) * (@websthatrock) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cli-parse-error/#post-17495127) * Thank you, I will try there. In the meantime I’m trying to delete all of the transients to see if that will solve the problem. * [Jon Brown](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jb510/) * (@jb510) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cli-parse-error/#post-17495784) * This isn’t an issue with the transients. It’s a PHP error from running an ancient version of PHP. Update to the current version of PHP, 8.2. * Thread Starter [WebsThatRock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/websthatrock/) * (@websthatrock) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cli-parse-error/#post-17497679) * Hi, I tried that and that didn’t work. I did however set up a testing blank WordPress with the bare minimal and the error still shows up there as well. * Thread Starter [WebsThatRock](https://wordpress.org/support/users/websthatrock/) * (@websthatrock) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cli-parse-error/#post-17497820) * Problem got solved. It turned out the CLI PHP version was 7.3. I contacted the host and they changed it to 7.4 and with a special CLI command to update to force it to 7.4 it worked. I found out online that since WooCommerce 8.6 this error is caused if the CLI is less than 7.3 even if the website itself is 7.4 or higher.
