Hi Richie,
I see you’ve kind of spammed the ww.wp.xz.cn forums with this question. Before doing that, it might be best to educate yourself on the matter, for you’ve now costed multiple developer’s cumulatively more time than it would take to educate yourself. In any case…
PHP is mostly forward compatible. This means that — not even hyperbolically — most code written 10 years ago for PHP 5.2 still works perfectly on PHP 8.0.
For TSF and Extension Manager current releases, we validated everything to work without issue from PHP 5.6 through PHP 8.0. When there are errors with future PHP versions, we’ll definitely spot (and address) them before anyone uses the updated PHP versions in production. This holds true for most popular WordPress plugins.
I hope this helps! Have a nice day 🙂
Hi Sybre,
Oops, that certainly wasn’t my intention. I thought it would be less trouble to ask individual developers about their own plugins rather than asking one about multiple plugins. I see now that that may not have been appropriate.
I’m always looking to educate myself where I can. Are there any resources in particular that you would recommend (I had searched but not found anything useful – perhaps I wasn’t using the correct search terms).
Thank you for taking the time to explain things to me. 🙂
Hi Richie,
It’s OK 🙂
Since you seem to be fiddling with cutting-edge hosting technologies, I think you’ll fancy Kinsta’s blog: https://kinsta.com/blog/. They seem to be vigilant about updating older posts for correctness, which I think is admirable.
Thanks, Sybre. I’ll take a look.
