 * Hello, our site is using both Dokan and Dokan Pro. We are running the latest 
   versions of both (updated as of yesterday). However, when we try to run the site
   on PHP 8.0, we get the following error:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "Dokan_Follow_Store_Send_Updates" not found in /nas/content/live/xxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/dokan-lite/dokan.php:433
       Stack trace:
       #0 /nas/content/live/xxxxxxxx/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(308): WeDevs_Dokan->after_plugins_loaded('')
       #1 /nas/content/live/xxxxxxxx/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(332): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array)
       #2 /nas/content/live/xxxxxxxx/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array)
       #3 /nas/content/live/xxxxxxxx/wp-settings.php(480): do_action('plugins_loaded')
       #4 /nas/content/live/xxxxxxxx/wp-config.php(120): require_once('/nas/content/li...')
       #5 /nas/content/live/xxxxxxxx/wp-load.php(50): require_once('/nas/content/li...')
       #6 /nas/content/live/xxxxxxxx/wp-admin/admin.php(34): require_once('/nas/content/li...')
       #7 /nas/content/live/xxxxxxxx/wp-admin/index.php(10): require_once('/nas/content/li...')
       #8 {main}
       thrown in /nas/content/live/xxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/dokan-lite/dokan.php on line 433
       ```
   
 * Reverting the site back to PHP 7.4 removes the error.
 * I did find a previous forum post related to PHP 8 compatibility here, from nearly
   two years ago: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-compatible-2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-compatible-2/),
   but it does not appear there was any resolution to that topic.
 * According to [https://endoflife.date/php](https://endoflife.date/php), all support(
   both active and security patches) for PHP 7.4 ended in November of 2022, meaning
   PHP 7.4 has been essentially dead for two months now. It could be considered 
   poor business practice to force your customers to run their eCommerce sites on
   a platform that no longer receives security updates.
 * Will Dokan be compatible with PHP 8 in the near future, or will we need to seek
   out and implement a different solution to ensure our site’s security?

 * Hi [@randallhedglin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/randallhedglin/) ,
   The
   Dokan Follow Store module triggered this fatal error. As per my information, 
   Follow Store is the premium module of the Dokan plugin. According to the forum
   guidelines, [commercial products are not supported in these forums”](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/contributing-to-the-wordpress-forums/what-is-not-supported/).
 * If you have any queries regarding premium features, please contact them through
   the [official support channel](https://wedevs.com/contact).
 * Regards!
