    My website host upgraded the site to PHP 8.1 which broke the site, and have now reverted to PHP 7.4 but apparently this is end of life and has security problems.

    What steps can I take to ensure a smooth transition to the still supported PHP v8+

    Make sure your WordPress, your active theme, and all your plugins are up to date.

    If your site still breaks under 8.1, your server logs should tell you exactly what broke under PHP 8.1. Chances are, it’s your theme or one of your plugins.

    Once you know the culprit, then you can seek out a solution.

    Remember to turn of the old version and turn on the new

    sudo a2enmod php7.4
    systemctl restart apache2
