Fatal Errors with PHP8

  • Hi!

    Could you please update this plugin to be compatible with php8?
    There are many errors and the whole site has a critical error, even after implementing previously mentioned fixes.

    Please help.
    Thanks.

  • There are 2 Problems with PHP 8.x. Old style constructor and deprecated create_function().

    @webprom @byte666 I’ve taken over this plugin from Andrew and I also need PHP 8. Expect a new 2.0 version released in the next week or so. It’s already working and clean on PHP 8 for me just need to do more testing that it all works as intended with a large rewrite Andrew started years ago and I picked up when I took over the plugin a month or so back.
