 * I set up a WordPress 5.7.2 multisite subdomain website under PHP 8.0 and added
   the stats management plugin (with absolutely NO other plugins!) on a fresh website.
 * I go to activate it and POOF! the admin panel is gone! The main website existed,
   but all of the administrative functions were completely wiped and the admin pages
   were totally unavailable.
 * To delete it and create a fresh version, I actually had to manually delete all
   the files and subdirectories to reinstall my WordPress website.
 * I don’t know exactly what happened, but I went through this twice just to be 
   sure.
 * Might want to test this under PHP 8.0 with multisite WordPress… on a website 
   you don’t care about….
