Compat with PHP-8

WP 5.8, The Events Calendar, Version 5.8.2, PHP Version 8.0.8

I still get the following warnings with PHP 8+. If I change the ‘Private’ method in ‘Plugin_Meta_Links.php’ all warnings are gone!

Warning: Private methods cannot be final as they are never overridden by other classes in /.../plugins/the-events-calendar/common/src/Tribe/Plugin_Meta_Links.php on line 127

Warning: The magic method Tribe__Plugin_Meta_Links::__wakeup() must have public visibility in /...(plugins/the-events-calendar/common/src/Tribe/Plugin_Meta_Links.php on line 140

Any timetable to fix the PHP-8 problem?

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out, and my apologies for the delayed response.

We’ve released a few updates since you reported this issue. Can you please install them and check to see if you still get this warning message?

Best regards,

Marho

thanx for yr answer.
Tested again with WP-5.8.1, Event-Calendar: 5.9.1
I still get the notice:
Warning: Private methods cannot be final as they are never overridden by other classes...
pointig to the methods ‘__clone()’ and ‘__wakeup()’ in “/common/src/Tribe/Plugin_Meta_Links.php”.

If I replace final private function... with public function... everything works fine.

Hi @beka47,

Thanks for getting back to me and confirming this.

I’ll pass this information along to the dev team to see if they can implement a fix in our future release for the plugin.

Best regards,

Marho
