Apologies but we don't officially support PHP 8 as of yet. CI runs with it and we have plans on adding full support but we're not quite there yet.

If 4.4.0 is working for you, pin to it and I'll see if we can bump up PHP 8 support for future releases (including the WordPress release side of things).

[phamquangbaoplus]

Hey, you guys should come up with a fix as soon as possible.

It is a popular plugin and a lot of people are getting the same error.

It requires minimum php 7.2, but doesn't support php 8. How many people can use your plugin with that requires?

Thanks.

[jacobbednarz]

I'm afraid it's as simple as that.

Regardless of whether or not we want to support PHP 8, the WordPress plugin release process doesn't allow linting of PHP 8 and subsequently fails the SVN release.

Until that is fixed, we cannot release PHP 8 compatible plugins.

[jacobbednarz]

I would also recommend following WordPress's own advice that PHP 8 in WordPress should be considered beta quality while they are working on upgrading core, infrastructure and the ecosystem to support it.

A most recent link showing effectively the same in a nice table: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/

For WordPress 5.6 & 5.7 PHP 8 is beta

In this commit it seems the bootstrapper for PHP 8 was removed, causing all the failures now. The missing bootstrap file is /wp-content/plugins/cloudflare/vendor/symfony/polyfill-intl-normalizer/bootstrap80.php. As fix you can manually add it again, it's available in the Symfony repo.

If instead of fixing you do want to roll-back to v4.4.0, make sure to disable auto-updating for the plugin!

We're on PHP 7.4 at the Pantheon, the same thing happened after the latest update. Had to revert to the previous version. I suppose it's not just 8.0 related.
