    When trying to save or update a post in wordpress, the preview doesn’t load and the page doesn’t look like it’s saving.

    On the latest WordPress and using PHP 8

    I also use the following plugins:

    Asset CleanUp: Page Speed Booster
    Breadcrumb NavXT
    Code Snippets
    Flying Analytics by WP Speed Matters
    Flying Images by WP Speed Matters
    Flying Scripts by WP Speed Matters
    GP Premium
    LuckyWP Table of Contents
    No Category Base (WPML)
    Regenerate Thumbnails Advanced
    Runcloud Hub

    Thank you for letting me know–I have not yet started testing with PHP8. One thing to try would be to disable the Scriptless block (on the plugin settings screen), as I would guess that’s what is causing the issue (not confirmed, just hypothesizing)

    Hey, I’ve tested this and ticked the

    Disable the sharing buttons block

    button and it doesn’t seem to have helped. This problem seems only to apply to posts in draft.

    Okay, I’ve tested and it’s due to the plugin using a function to sanitize the post meta which was deprecated in PHP 7.4 and removed entirely in PHP 8, so it’s causing a fatal error on save.

    I have a fix ready to go, but need to do some more checking/testing before I release. If you want to replace your copy of the plugin with the develop branch from GitHub, the issue should be resolved with that. Thank you for your patience!
