    I’m getting the following error when trying to activate version 2.8.15 of this plugin with WordPress 5.6 (RC1) and PHP 8.0.0:

    Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($var) must be of type Countable|array, string given in /var/www/html/blog/wp-content/plugins/urvanov-syntax-highlighter/util/class-urvanov-syntax-highlighter-util.php:663

    I don’t see anything in the PHP 8 breaking changes list, but I wonder if they switched this warning to an error: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/counting_non_countables

    Strange error. I did not test the plugin in PHP 8 yet.

    Looks that you are right, they changed the behaviour. I cannot fix and make the update right now. But I will try to do something on the weekend.

    I tried it but I couldn’t start a fresh copy of WordPress with PHP 8. Maybe it is too early.

    I had some issues running WordPress 5.5, but pre-release WordPress 5.6 seems to be working fine.

    @quppa I have installed PHP 8 and wordpress 5.6 with the plugin. But I don’t see the errors. Maybe there some other conditions?

    As @quppa mentioned, problems were with WP 5.5 and not 5.6.

    I guess you can mark this as solved because everyone needs to update to the latest version.

    Thank you @quppa for letting @urvanov know.

    I’m afraid I’m getting the same error with 2.8.16.

    Same problem for me but it appeared after the update updating from 2.8.15 to 2.8.16, now even downgrading doesen’t help :/

    @urvanov You should use this function to prevent this error: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-countable.php

    Problem still exists on version 2.8.17.

    Maybe just use version_compare function from PHP instead of your own function?

    I don’t understand why I don’t see the error. What is the difference between your PHP and mine?

    (@urvanov)

    Maybe some minor version difference

    @beherit , @quppa Tell please. Do you use the version from wordpress plugin repository or from github sources repository?

    @urvanov I use version form wordpress plugin repository. Problem still exists, I can’t even go to site admin page :/
