PHP 8.0 update breaks the website

  • I have just updated my website php version to 8.0.0 (on a test server so i cannot show anyone i’m afraid), and the plugin broke my site.

    I get the error…

    Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_magic_quotes_gpc() in D:\Local Sites\solex\app\public\wp-content\plugins\acronyms-2\acronyms.php on line 27
    There has been a critical error on this website.

    I realise that the function ‘get_magic_quotes_gpc’ has been REMOVED as of PHP 8.0.0 (https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-magic-quotes-gpc.php), so is the creator of the plugin going to do an update for this situation?

    Just wondering.
    Thanks

    Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I’ve pushed a release (2.0.5) that should resolve the problem.

    Thanks for looking into it so quick. Unfortunately i now get this error message…

    ( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: call_user_func_array(): Argument #1 ($function) must be a valid callback, non-static method Acronyms::add_pages() cannot be called statically in D:\Local Sites\solex\app\public\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php on line 287

    Sorry about that. I’ve done a quick and dirty fix but I might have to free up some time for more comprehensive refactoring in the near future.

    Still getting the same error this morning, but no problem, i will just revert back to an earlier php version for the time being.

    Rather than rush a fix, better for you to find the time to get it right. Thanks for looking into it quickly though.

    I look forward to a future fix and keep my eyes open. Thanks
