 * I have two sites using SiteOrigin Page Builder, after updating both sites to 
   PHP 8, I received the following error when attempting to make changes to the 
   home pages. WordPress sent me the specific details:
 * An error of type E_COMPILE_ERROR was caused in line 657 of the file /home/xxxx/
   public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/siteorigin-panels/widgets/lib/lessc.inc.php.
   Error message: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no 
   longer supported
 * WordPress version 5.8.2
    Current theme: Vantage Premium (version 2.6) Current
   plugin: Page Builder by SiteOrigin (version 2.15.3) PHP version 8.0.12
 * I reverted the sites back to PHP 7.4 and repaired the issues created. The sites
   use cPanel if that’s significant.
 * Thanks for your attention.

 * Hi, thanks for reaching out.
 * The errors relate to the legacy widgets bundled with Page Builder. We’ve started
   the process of updating them but it’s quite a bit of work. The easiest option
   to resolve the issue immediately would be to remove the legacy widgets and instead
   make use of the matching widget from the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle.
 * The legacy widgets bundled with Page Builder are:
 * animated-image
    button call-to-action list price-box testimonial
 * Animated Image and List don’t have a matching option in the SiteOrigin Widgets
   Bundle but the others do.
 * How many pages do you have that make use of the above widgets?
