Wordpress Plugins & PHP8 for Affiliates

[Honeybadger]

PHP8 is rolling out across the world
some WP plugins are PHP8 compliant
some WP plugins are not PHP8 compliant
and they break WP websites
--> easy way to check if plugin is PHP8 compliant?
otherwise I gotta send loadsa emails

Just set up 1 demo, using PHP 8 on that server (configuration) site and see if the plugins you want to use will work.
If you use php-fpm see:

using miltiple versions of PHP-fpm at DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo. Privacy, Simplified.

duckduckgo.com

Usually, the website of the plugin will also show the compatibility --that may be easier for you

My coding works fine on 7.x to 8.x without issues but some (PHP) modules, the more exotic ones, may have issues.

--> all PHP8 compatible WP plugins
well the ones that I use
