    Hi,
    in the process of updating plugins on our website, Woocommerce PDF plugin has on version 2.8.0 “Fix: Support for PHP8.0, deprecating support for PHP7.0 or older (separate addon available for backwards compatibility)”

    does this plugin now require PHP 8.0 otherwise with PHP 7 and 7.x will break the website?

    what should we do? our current PHP version is 7.4.16 and using Woocommerce PDF Invoices and Packing slips 2.7.4. version

    Let me know, thanks

    Hi @madleine,

    This only applies if you are running PHP 7.0 or older. As you can see here PHP 7.0 was ‘End of life’ on January 2019. That is why we stopped actively supporting it but we do offer a separate addon for users that really need to run an outdated version of PHP.

    In your case, running PHP 7.4, you can update without any issues. And the update also adds support for the PHP 8.0 so you can even update your PHP version if you like to make your site even faster (although not all plugins in the WordPress ecosystem have active PHP 8.0 support, so be careful).
