 * Hi,
 * I’ve just activated this plugin on my site (www.shospace.co.uk) – no pages with
   it in use yet. But every time I try and save the settings pages with new info(
   IDs for Paypal etc), I get a fatal error message, below. Any idea why?
 * Thanks, Sheona

 * I’ve just been in touch with my host, who asks whether PhP 8.0 is supported with
   this plugin?

 * Hi, thank you for reaching out to us. Can you ask your host to revert back to
   PHP 7.4.27 for the time being until the developers investigate this issue further.
 * Kind regards.

 * The plugin should work fine with PHP8. We tested on a PHP8 server and it works
   fine for us. Some other PHP module maybe missing on this server. Is it conflicting
   with another plugin maybe?

 * Thanks for your reply.
 * I’ve gone through various plugins, activating and deactivating. The problem kept
   coming though, and my website was also hacked 3 times. My host has helped clear
   malware, but I’m no clearer on where/why the fatal errors occurred.
 * For now, I won’t be using your plugin, but hope to find another solution.
 * Thanks again.
