    Hi,
    With PHP 7.4 going end of life on the 28th November I just wanted to confirm that your plugins are all compatible with PHP 8.0 prior to me upgrading our site.
    Thanks,
    David.

    Hi,

    I’m only upgrading to 8.0 initially, will they be compatible with 8.0 or are you skipping 8.0 and going straight to 8.1?

    Thanks,
    David.

    Any update on this please? I haven’t seen a blog post about the PHP upgrade yet.
    Thanks, David.

    Hi David,
    I am sorry for not publishing.
    We have tested some of the plugins with PHP 8.1 but there are many remaining. The problem we are facing is neither WordPress(including 6.1 RC1) nor BuddyPress/BuddyBoss is compatible with 8.1 and it is very difficult to use any automated tools due to notices being thrown by them.

    since we have to do manual testing, It will need some more time. Since the EOL for PHP is November 28, we will push the list by 10th Nov.

    We haven’t found any issue with the plugins we have tested but there are many to be tested yet.

    Regards
    Brajesh
