Strange issue with PHP 8.0

    Something very strange happens to site the moment I toggle PHP 8.0 in cPanel. The site remains perfectly functional but with botched customization. This is not related to cache as I have tried at least 10 times and every single time I cleared my page cache and minify cache.
    Here is the screenshot: https://ibb.co/nnHn4T7
    The top section is how it’s supposed to look (and what I STILL SEE while in the customization window – WITH PHP 8) and the below window is how the site appears in the incognito window (again, with PHP 8).
    It’s baffling how it appears perfect and completely ruined at the same time in two different places. This issue resolves immediately after downgrading to PHP 7.4. As of now, I am forced to remain on this older version. Please help!

    Hi there,

    Issues like this are usually cache-related.

    Is PHP 8 active right now? If so, here’s what I’m seeing: https://www.screencast.com/t/iPAEOj2a

    @edge22 No, I had reverted back to v7.4. But after your reply, I went ahead and disabled my cache plugin and sure enough everything is flawless with PHP 8 enabled. Cache plugins, WP-Optimize in this case, can really be a mess even after clearing cache completely and I learned that today! Thank you for the help! ??
