PHP Version:7.2 or higher?

  • In your requirements, it states: “PHP Version:7.2 or higher” when updating to the latest version (1.6.8) on a server with PHP 7.4, we get:


    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. in ~/public_html/wp-content/plugins/creative-mail-by-constant-contact/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24

    Given this, shouldn’t we be seeing: “PHP Version:8.0 or higher” in the requirements?

    How exactly is changing the requirements to “PHP Version:7.3 or higher” going to resolve this issue?

    @rwsiv We disabled the Composer platform check and enforced PHP 7.3 as a platform requirement in Composer to ensure compatibility with the stated PHP version. We’ve also tested in PHP 7.3 on some live sites to validate that the issue is indeed resolved.

    Again, sorry about the inconvenience. We recently had to update some build processes, and this was a side effect of that change. We plan to implement automated workflows to ensure that future changes are tested across all supported WordPress and PHP versions.

    Thank you for reporting the issue, and do let us know if you have any further issues.
