 * Hi, we have to remove this plugin from all of our websites now as php is moving
   forward, and we cannot determine if an update is coming and so this plugin is
   no longer accessible for us.
    I’d love to be wrong about this, but any chance
   that I am incorrect? Please, thank you?

 * [@shavrn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shavrn/) Hi,
 * Hope you are doing good.
 * Can you please share the error details or screenshot of the error, I have tested
   it on my staging sites on PHP8, and its working fine.
 * Thanks

 * I’ve run into the same issue. Here’s the errors I’m getting:
 *     ```
       Warning: require_once(/DOMAIN/public/wp-content/plugins/post-smtp/freemius/start.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /DOMAIN/public/wp-content/plugins/post-smtp/postman-smtp.php on line 43

 * Hi [@fayedm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fayedm/),
 * Can you share the Diagnostic Log from Post SMTP, if it’s not accessible, do let
   us know, your Post SMTP Version, PHP Version, and WordPress Version.
 * Thank you

 * If I enable Post SMTP on php 8 it fatals the site completely, so here’s the environment
   where it breaks:
 * Post SMTP 2.1.10
    PHP 8 WP 6.0.3
 * Curiously, if I rollback to PHP 7.4, it still causes a fatal error. I also switched
   to the twenty-twenty-two theme and disabled all plugins, Post SMTP still causes
   a fatal error.

 * I’m struggling still, I thought I had solved it but post-smtp is still throwing
   fatal errors for me.

 * Hi [@fayedm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fayedm/),
 * Can you delete the current plugin (Post SMTP), Download and install it again 
   from WordPress Dashboard, the error is about missing files, which is completely
   strange.
 * Thank you
