v4.7.27 – Declare minimum PHP version
Fixed
- Added a "Requires PHP: 8.0" header, matching what the plugin has actually been built and tested for (including the PHP 8-specific
count()crash fixed back in 4.7.2). WordPress will now block activation/auto-deactivate on unsupported PHP, rather than risk running into compatibility issues silently.
No change for hosts already on PHP 8.0+, which is expected for any actively maintained WordPress install in 2026.
