PHP 8

Hello @vermaakpetrus

I’m sorry to say we don’t have any official announcement about PHP 8 compatibility. In this case, I’m unable to assure you of the exact outcome. However, we still didn’t get any user-reported issue for PHP 8. So if you’re using HappyAddons on your PHP 8 server and having any issues, kindly let us know. We will take further steps. I already passed the info to our back room to check the outcome with PHP 8, and after reviewing, we will officially announce it as PHP 8 compatible.

Kind regards.

I did not get any errors on screen, just sometimes when trying to edit a page I would get a spinning blue circle on the left side in elementor. https://prnt.sc/1grcfhu

If I reopened elementor editor about 5 to 10 times the circle would go away and I can edit.

When I disabled Happy Elementor, the circle went away permanently. So, I suspect there could be a small issue with Happy Elementor and PHP 8, but not sure what it is or how to reproduce it.

Hi again,

→ This widget panel not loading issue should not happen for PHP 8.

Before going further, please perform the below steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Would you please increase your WP_MEMORY & WP_MAX_MEMORY by adding the below codes on your wp-config.php file and try again?
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );

You can also use this doc to know more details- https://elementor.com/help/elementor-widget-panel-not-loading/. I hope this will helps.

Regards.

Hello! I am running PHP 7.4.19 on my site with Elementor 3.3.1, but am encountering the same issue as OP. https://im.ge/i/IVVk9

The widget editor loads only after I deactivate Happy Addons.

I’ve been using some great Happy Addons widgets on the site so I hope to get some assistance in resolving this.

I tried troubleshooting using the methods in the Elementor link shared (https://elementor.com/help/elementor-widget-panel-not-loading/) and the only thing that worked was deactivating the Happy Addons plugin.

Thanks!

@aurangajeb We enabled PHP 8 jit and no longer get the spinning circle. Specifying 512M memory was not needed. Not sure if that was the root cause but we used to get the spinning circle a LOT, and since enabling jit it has stopped.

However, all pages that use Happy Elementor Event Calendar widget throw this when trying to edit with elementor: https://i.prntscr.com/7m7wGQaBQFCgHiUQfmAcsw.png
I think the widget is not compatible with PHP8, because it does not happen on PHP7.4

Hi @iffahdkajai

Firstly, according to the forum rules, please open your own topic for any further issues/queries.

Now:
After increasing the limit, it’s highly recommended to deactivate unused widgets of HappyAddons to avoid the issue. It’s also recommended to disable unused widgets for any other third-party plugin/addons (if you have installed them). I hope this will helps.

@vermaakpetrus your shared screenshot seems invalid, I didn’t find any image on the link. However, thanks for your feedback about the outcome/issue with PHP8. I will pass this on to the team. I hope this will be resolved when we officially make it PHP8 compatible. Meanwhile, if possible, you can share the error message you were facing on the output with PHP8.

Thanks!

@aurangajeb The link works for me, but here is another link:

Here is the error from debug.log (there is no error output on the screen even though I turned it on)

@vermaakpetrus, I have shared your feedback/message to our concern team to take a look while working on the PHP-V8 compatibility. I hope this will be resolved when we make it fully comply with the PHP-V8.

Thanks again for your time & effort.
Regards.

Hi @aurangajeb Did you in the meantime make it comply with php 8?

Best regards
