 * This plugin does not work on PHP8 (the standard version provided by most hosting
   providers). There has been no response on plugin support forum for this topic
   for over a month.

 * Hey [@seanuk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seanuk/) thanks for the message.
   We are looking into any possibly PHP8 issues but for the time being I would recommend
   using an earlier version of PHP

 * Just a follow up, I am using PHP 8.1 at Kinsta and have had no issues at all.
   I did 5 clones today with no issues.

 * For future reference to anyone looking at this post, today we released version
   4.2.0 which contains a fix for an issue (stricter handling of serialized objects
   from the database) that seemed to be responsible for some issues experience with
   the Cloner on PHP 8 — we’ll continue to monitor but as far as we know this should
   represent a full resolution for anyone using PHP 8.
