Plugin no longer working with PHP 8.1

  • Since we updated to PHP 8.1 the checkbox below the comment form does no longer appear. I tested without any other plugins and with a standard WordPress theme.

    Turns out the problem was not related to PHP 8.1. We had to generate a new unique key, save the settings and then restarted the plugin. This was the only procedure that worked on several blogs. Just generating a new unique key and saving the settings never worked.

    Hi @michael8888

    Thanks for the info, will test that out. At this moment I’m not sure why the issue would show up and why generating a new unique key would resolve it.

    Will investigate.

    My guess is that some of the settings that were stored with PHP 7 are not correctly read under PHP 8. Once you save the settings with PHP 8, the plugin works again. If I were the developer I would compare all settings with both PHP versions bit by bit. The plugin also needs some validation that informs the admin if some settings are not correctly stored.

    Hi everyone,
