Based on what I have read, I don’t think there should be any major issues, but I will not know until I have tested. I plan on doing the compatibility, but I don’t have a timeframe for when. * Thread Starter [gregoriogalli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gregoriogalli/) * (@gregoriogalli) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-support-35/#post-16192554) * I made a test. I have two web sites with photonic. The set of plug-ins is nearly the same. When I switch to php 8 the gallery stop working in one only of the two (ociogiulivo.com) and I have the following error. I cannot find the difference that cause the following error. The other web site (www.vininaturaliditoscana. com) work regularly. I activated display_errors. * Directly on the page where the gallery is: Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: trim(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given in /home/ngoonet/ ociogiulivo.com/wp-content/plugins/photonic/Modules/Native.php:90 Stack trace:# 0 [internal function]: trim() #1 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-content/plugins/ photonic/Modules/Native.php(90): array_map() #2 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/ wp-content/plugins/photonic/Core/Gallery.php(76): Photonic_Plugin\Modules\Native- >get_gallery_images() #3 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-content/plugins/photonic/ Core/Photonic.php(792): Photonic_Plugin\Core\Gallery->get_contents() #4 /home/ ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-content/plugins/photonic/Core/Photonic.php(660): Photonic_Plugin\ Core\Photonic->get_gallery_images() #5 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/ class-wp-hook.php(310): Photonic_Plugin\Core\Photonic->modify_gallery() #6 /home/ ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/plugin.php(205): WP_Hook->apply_filters()# 7 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/media.php(2406): apply_filters() # 8 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/widgets/class-wp-widget-media-gallery. php(129): gallery_shortcode() #9 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/widgets/ class-wp-widget-media.php(253): WP_Widget_Media_Gallery->render_media() #10 / home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/class-wp-widget.php(394): WP_Widget_Media- >widget() #11 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/widgets.php(835): WP_Widget- >display_callback() #12 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-content/themes/ashe- pro-premium/templates/sidebars/sidebar-right.php(15): dynamic_sidebar() #13 / home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/template.php(785): require(‘/home/ngoonet/ o…’) #14 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/template.php(718): load_template()# 15 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/general-template.php(204): locate_template()# 16 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-content/themes/ashe-pro-premium/page.php( 98): get_template_part() #17 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/wp-includes/template- loader.php(106): include(‘/home/ngoonet/o…’) #18 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo.com/ wp-blog-header.php(19): require_once(‘/home/ngoonet/o…’) #19 /home/ngoonet/ociogiulivo. com/index.php(17): require(‘/home/ngoonet/o…’) #20 {main} thrown in /home/ngoonet/ ociogiulivo.com/wp-content/plugins/photonic/Modules/Native.php on line 90 * The same in error log * Plugin Author [Sayontan Sinha](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sayontan/) * (@sayontan) * [3 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-support-35/#post-16209784) * Interesting – I think this error is coming due to a conflict with a different plugin. You might have a separate plugin that handles gallery functionality ( or this may be built into your theme). It is possible that such functionality is changing the parameters of the shortcode to arrays, which is why the error is showing up. * You can try using a different shortcode for Photonic galleries (via _Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Generic Settings → Custom Shortcode_). For example, you could use something like `photonic`. Then instead of your gallery being invoked by this: * `[gallery ids="..."]` * you would have this: `[photonic ids="..."]` * Of course, you would have to change all your existing galleries, but that is easy via the shortcode replacement (_Photonic → Shortcode Replacement_).
