 * Hello,
 * When I’m switching to PHP 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 ajax search doesn’t work and in console
   log I see error: `jquery-3-6-0.min.js response 500`
 * When I’m switching back to PHP 7.4 everything’s working fine.
 * Here’s how I enqueue my scripts in functions.php
 * `function load_scripts(){
   wp_deregister_script('jquery');wp_register_script('
   jquery', get_template_directory_uri().'/js/jquery-3-6-0.min.js');wp_enqueue_script('
   jquery');wp_enqueue_script('lightslider-script', get_template_directory_uri().'/
   js/lightslider.min.js', array('jquery'));}add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_scripts');
 * Can you please fix this issue?
 * WP Version: 6.1.1
   WC Version: 7.3.0Plugin Version: 2.71
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * Please check that the path to jquery-3-6-0.min.js file is correct.
 * Also – can you temporarily disable this code snippet and check if this issue 
   with PHP 8.0+ still exists?

 * Hey Mikhail,
 * I’ve tried to disable my own ‘jquery-3-6-0.min.js’ and get same error, but this
   time it’s default wordpress ‘jquery.min.js’ file.
 * Here, you can test on this website (search form at very top): [https://antik.ua](https://antik.ua)
 * When you open website everything’s ok, jquery is working, but when you start 
   to type something in search form, then in console log browser gives this error:
 * POST [https://antik.ua/?wc-ajax=aws_action](https://antik.ua/?wc-ajax=aws_action)
   500 jquery-3-6-0.min.js:2
 * And for default wordpress jquery same error but with different name of jquery
   file.
 * POST [https://antik.ua/?wc-ajax=aws_action](https://antik.ua/?wc-ajax=aws_action)
   500 jquery.min.js:2
 * Both files are exist on hosting:
 * [https://antik.ua/wp-content/themes/antik/js/jquery-3-6-0.min.js:2](https://antik.ua/wp-content/themes/antik/js/jquery-3-6-0.min.js:2)
 * [https://antik.ua/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.min.js](https://antik.ua/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.min.js)
 * Current PHP version is 8.2.1.

 * As I see plugin search response return some server error instead of search results.
 * Please try the following – enable debug mode like described in [this article](https://advanced-woo-search.com/guide/debug/).
   Then try to search one more time and after check your debug.log file for any 
   errors inside it.

 * Looks like multilanguage plugin qTranslateXT produce this error ([https://github.com/qtranslate/qtranslate-xt](https://github.com/qtranslate/qtranslate-xt)).

 * As I see from the log file the issue is caused by the qtranslate plugin.
 * Please tell me – do you know if qtranslate plugin settings provide some option
   to exclude some URLs from its language redirections?

 * I’m marking this topic as resolved, since its the problem of the qTranslate-XT
   plugin.
 * If someone’s need a fix – just comment `assert()` function on the line 102 in`
   qtranslate_core.php`. This check doesn’t need in production only for debugging.
 * PS: The problem was existed in PHP 7.4 too, but everything was worked just because
   PHP 7.4 and lower versions throws warning message in case of failure, and PHP8
   + throws exception. Explanation of how `assert()` function work in PHP8+ [https://php.watch/versions/8.0/assert-throws](https://php.watch/versions/8.0/assert-throws)
