    Hi, when I enable PostX I get a fatal error:

    An error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR was caused in line 88 of the file /[path to plugin]/wp-content/plugins/ultimate-post/classes/Dashboard.php. Error message: Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement or after any declare call in the script

    I’ve disabled *all* plugins and reverted to the Twenty Twenty Five theme, and as soon as I activate PostX, I get this error.

    I’m seeing this error from other plugins as well, but after three hours on support with the web hosting company (WP Engine), they are unable to find a problem on their end and suggested I contact you. We’re running PHP version 8.2 and WordPress 6.8.1.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Thanks for reporting the issue. We identified the cause.

    The fatal error you’re seeing: indicates that there is some content before the namespace declaration in the file. This is not PHP 8.2 specific, but newer versions of PHP are stricter about syntax rules like this.

    Hopefully, we will release new update tomorrow fixing this issue.

    Great, I will check for that. Thanks for the fast reply.

    Apparently this is going around. I’ve had four different plugins give this same error in the last two weeks. I thought I was going mad 🙂
