Fatal error with PHP 8

Hi dutchdeveloper,

Thanks for using the DHL for WooCommerce plugin. Currently the plugin has not been optimized yet for PHP 8, but it’s in our immediate radar and tasked in our backlog. For now, PHP 7.4 or lower is recommended.

I’ve added a note to update this ticket to notify you when changes are live.

Hello,

we’re getting a fatal error even with 7.4 – but strangely, only in the frontend. The backend still works.

Any idea?

Hi Shin Ho,

I also got errors with PHP 8.0 and switched back to PHP 7.4.
Maybe you are interested in the error code from my German website:

Aktuelles Plugin: DHL for WooCommerce (Version 2.6.1)
PHP-Version 8.0.10-he.0

@mediaventa we are in the process of switching this library with one that is compatible with PHP 8. We hope to have this done soon.

Hi @dutchdeveloper,

Sorry for the late reply. We have fixed the autoloader issue in version 2.5.11 and be compatible with PHP8.
