Hi @carstenwh, iThemes Security is compatible with PHP 8.x and should be able to run without errors, but there may still be some warnings and deprecation notices.

Hi, thanks for the answer. Here is such a message
[01-Feb-2023 07:21:58 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in /var/www/vhosts/xxxx/wp-content/plugins/better-wp-security/core/modules/core/class-itsec-admin-notices.php on line 141
Hi @carstenwh,
Thank you for sharing that PHP deprecation notice.
Please note, a deprecation notice is not an error, but rather an indicator of where additional work is needed for compatibility before PHP 9 (i.e. when the notices become fatal errors). With a deprecation notice, the PHP code will continue to work and nothing is broken.
Also WordPress by default does not display PHP deprecation notices.
Thank you for providing additional information @nlpro.
@carstenwh I hope the information provided helped. I’ll mark this post resolved. If you still need assistance, feel free to open a new support topic, and we’d be happy to assist. Thank you!
