 * Hello.
 * I used the [Plugin Compatibility Checker](https://wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-compatibility-checker/)
   plugin on my website to check the compatibility of my plugins with PHP 8.+. The
   Compatibility plugin indicates that your plugin is not compatible beyond PHP 
   8.0. What can you say about this?
 * Thanks in advance
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-compatibility-check-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I don’t know what to say 🙂
 * I tried to install that plugin but the main admin page gives a PHP error on my
   setup.
 * I test all my plugins on WordPress nightly, now version 6.9RC3. I also run it
   all on PHP 8.5, since a month now. I haven’t seen anything that I need to address.
   
   Since PHP 8.4 is now a year out, I am very sure it is compatible with that. I
   don’t think I had a report about that in the last year. It could be that PHP 
   8.5 will generate a support ticket, but I am not expecting much, not much has
   changed. I see a few plugins that give a deprecated warning, but none of my plugins.
 * If you notice anything, let me know.
 * Regards, Marcel

 * Thank you so much for the quick reply and for trying to test with the checker
   plugin. There’s probably something missing in your plugin to verify compatibility
   with PHP 8.+. But I trust you, and I’ll switch my site to PHP 8.2 or 8.3 as soon
   as I’ve checked all my plugins.
 * Well, I suppose it’s the same for la Sentinelle Anti-Spam? 😉

 * Well, the Plugin Compatibility Checker plugin now announces that your plugin 
   is compatible up to PHP 8.4. And it’s the same with your _La sentinelle Anti-
   spam_ plugin.
   Thank you very much.
