Sites are breaking if PHP 8.x enabled

    Interesting: https://developers.elementor.com/elementors-roadmap-to-upgrade-php-versions/

    Firstly:

    If your server continues to use older PHP versions when Elementor raises the minimum required PHP version, your website will remain functional. However, as mentioned above, you won’t be able to upgrade to newer Elementor and WordPress versions.

    And:

    We strongly encourage upgrading from older and unsupported PHP versions. This will not only enhance the security and performance of your site but also ensure compatibility with the newest versions of Elementor and WordPress.

    Well… it’s hard. I have several websites using a newer WP version than 6.3.2 having issues with the most recent Elementor version and PHP 8.x.

    So updating to PHP 8.x using Elementor breaks sites, even though it is recommended.

    Solution for me:
    Downgrade to PHP 7.4 while using the newest versions of WP and Elementor.

    Or is there a better solution for now which I am not aware of?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi @michih

    Can you please share more info about the error that you are getting? Elementor is compatible with PHP 8.x but if you are facing any issues we would need to have a look at the problem.

    Hi @vipulelementor

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Use the Hello theme or child theme using PHP 7.4
    2. Create a header and footer within Elementor using its templates
    3. Switch to PHP 8.1 or 8.2
    4. Try to change the header: it breaks
    5. Try to change the footer: it breaks (colors, fonts, etc.)

    Fix for me for now as mentioned: Roll back to PHP 7.4.

    Does that help?

    Thanks a lot,
    Michael
