Doesn’t work on PHP 8

    I recently upgraded my site from PHP 7 to PHP 8, and Thumbs Rating stopped recording votes or displaying vote counts.

    In an earlier thread on this topic, it was suggested that cache software might interfere with Thumbs Rating, so I disabled WP Super Cache and retested, with the same result: When I use PHP 7.x, Thumbs Rating works properly, but with PHP 8.x, it doesn’t record votes.

    I’m currently running the site on PHP 7.4, but since 7.4 is deprecated I’d like to upgrade to PHP 8 as soon as this issue can be resolved.

    Hello

    Do you get any specific error in the browser console or the apache/nginx logs?

    To be honest have not made any changes to this in a long time. I’ll see if I can find a slot to try locally.

    Hi there,

    It turns out WordPress only has, at this moment, beta support for PHP8

    With that said, I’d encourage you to downgrade to PHP7 and wait until it’s fully supported

    Thank you

    I think I know why:

    On line 88 of thumbs-rating.php, the variable $post_ID is converted into an integer, so I believe the line, if( $post_ID == '' ) $post_ID = get_the_ID(); should now be if( ! $post_ID ) $post_ID = get_the_ID(); I’ve tested it and it works for me. Hope this helps. ??

    Thank you @sipxstream I have updated the codebase with this change and hopefully make it PHP 8.0 compatible.

    You may update to the plugin version 5.0.0

    Thank you!
