 * Hello! My site is now on free hosting and they unexpectedly changed the php version
   from 7.4 to 8.2. After this, problems began with the site, memory consumption
   increased sharply. I suspect it’s a bot invasion. Have you checked your plugin
   to work with php 8.2?

 * Hey [@alex7070m](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alex7070m/), yes the plugin
   works great on PHP v8.2 and latest WordPress. Is there any specific error you
   are getting?

 * There were no errors, but my site was disabled for 24 hours due to exceeding 
   the daily ram limit. I suspect that the high memory consumption may be due to
   bots. Is there control test for your plugin?

 * The plugin is very lightweight with never any performance issues reported (that
   I can recall). So probably some other factor(s) involved. If you want to test
   that the plugin is working properly, there are steps provided on the [Installation page](https://wordpress.org/plugins/blackhole-bad-bots/#installation)(
   under the section, “Testing Blackhole”).

 * There was an invasion of bots when your plugin was enabled
 * [https://ibb.co/wwGkd2V](https://ibb.co/wwGkd2V)
 * I installed an additional anti-bot plugin and then it stopped. Your plugin worked
   well on my website [https://audiobook-online.com](https://audiobook-online.com)
   with php 7.4, but with php 8.2 there were problems.

 * Okay thanks. Remember Blackhole is a honey-pot style trap that blocks bots when
   they follow the hidden link and fall into the trap. The bots shown in your screenshot
   were not following the hidden link, and looks more like a common vulnerability
   scan.
 * In any case, if you can provide specific details about this:
 * > with php 8.2 there were problems
 * Like specific error messages, screenshots, or the steps to repeat the issue, 
   it will enable me to investigate and try to resolve any issue asap. Otherwise,
   without some sort of clue to go on, there is not much that I’ll be able to do.
   I want to help, just need more infos.

 * There was probably a problem with the hosting. I moved the site to another hosting
   and the site is working fine. That hosting is cheating. I have already transferred
   the site from them, but they still write about overloads. 🙂 Your plugin works
   well.

   Glad you got it sorted 🙂
