    one of my sites runs your plugin and the server is running an old php version.

    my hosting company recommended a scan before updating ot PHP 8.3 and this is what it reported

    /chroot/home/a26ac25c/698fee5af1.nxcli.net/html/wp-content/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/classes/Entities/class-abstract-entity.php

    is this a real error or a misclassification by the checker? I would like to update php ASAP since current version is end-of life

    Your site is currently running on an out-of-date version of PHP!

    PHP is the underlying programming language that WordPress and its themes/plugins are written in. Newer releases bring more features, better performance, and regular security fixes.

    Your site is currently running on PHP 8.1, which stopped receiving security updates on December 31, 2025!

    Hello @chris10ssmith !

    To clarify first: WP Activity Log is fully tested and compatible with PHP 8.3 and PHP 8.4. We actively test the plugin against newer PHP versions, and there are no known compatibility issues with PHP 8.3 related to the file you mentioned.

    Regarding the scan result pointing to this file:

    /wp-content/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/classes/Entities/class-abstract-entity.php

    At this stage, this does not correspond to a known PHP incompatibility or error on our side. From what you’ve shared, this looks more like a misclassification or generic warning from the hosting scan, rather than an actual runtime issue in the plugin.

    These scans sometimes flag files simply because they:

    • Contain abstract classes or inheritance patterns
    • Use newer PHP syntax that scanners don’t fully interpret correctly
    • Match overly broad detection rules

    What I’d suggest next:

    • Ask your hosting provider for more details on why that specific file was flagged (for example, what PHP function or syntax they believe is problematic).
    • If they can provide a concrete error or stack trace, feel free to share it with us and we’ll be happy to review it.

    Based on our testing and current reports, there’s no known issue that should prevent you from upgrading to PHP 8.3 with WP Activity Log installed.

    Let me know if your host provides additional details so we can check further.

    Many thanks!
