 * Hi,
 * this is my first question after reading years in that blog.
 * I have a fatal error if I activate PHP 8.0. The error appears also if every single
   plugin is deactivitated, so there is maybe something fault in the wordpress installation?
   I am using WordPress 6.3.1.
 * Thank you very much for your support in advance. That would be great help.

   function create_function() in /var/www/vhosts/web349.server5.configcenter.info/

 * I would suggest to contact your web hosting provider and ask that they check 
   your .htaccess file and also make sure all the correct PHP modules are loaded
   for your site. If it doesn’t work with all plugins deactivated and default them
   enabled then this is likely an issue on the hosting or you may have some directives
   in the htaccess file that only work on the previous PHP version which your web
   host can help you get rid of.
