 * Good evening [@yoyoyosef](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yoyoyosef/)
 * Thank you for reaching out to us.
 * We did get other reports of this issue. You are right, there is a bug with PHP
   8.
    Our apologies for the inconvenience.
 * We’ll work on a fix for this ASAP and report back here when we do.
    With that
   in mind, we don’t have a quick fix, for now, so you might have to stick with 
   PHP 7.4 for the time being.
 * Best regards,
    Geoff

 * I completely forgot to mention that PHP 8 is still very beta for WordPress in
