Crashes sites running on PHP7.4

    Every site we have running both this plugin that’s on PHP7.4 crashes with the error message

    Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.0".

    Additionally this error occurs in the log file. 

    PHP Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.0". You are running 7.4.33.4. in /nas/content/live/nameofmysite/wp-content/plugins/website-file-changes-monitor/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24

    Ideally if this plugin is no longer compatible with 7.4, it should check it before composer does and just stop loading. This current issue prevents even the wp-admin side from loading, making it difficult to fix.

    Hello Grant,

    Thank you for using our plugin. I am sorry to read about your issue.

    Indeed, this is a mistake from our end. We are currently working on an update that checks the PHP version before running, and if it is not 8+ it issues a warning instead.

    We should be releasing this patch today. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

    Should there be anything else we can assist you with, please let us know.

    Have a good day.

    Hello Grant,

    We have released an updated version of the plugin a few hours ago which addresses this issue. Now we are handling this situation, so you will get a notice and the plugin won’t be activated if you are running a version of PHP that is older than 8.0.

    Thank you very much for using our plugin and sorry for the inconvenience. Should you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

    Have a great weekend.
