Title: problems with php version 8.01 Last modified: August 26, 2022 --- # problems with php version 8.01 * Resolved [BitBloom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ishchai/) * (@ishchai) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-php-version-8-01/) * I’m building a website on localhost, used ajax-load-more plugin and it worked just fine. recently I had to upgrade the PHP version to 8.01. After the upgrade the plugin doesn’t work. * The posts doesn’t load at all, I scroll down and I can see the loading gif but no posts are loaded. * Is there a known problem with this version of PHP? is there a fix? * Thanks Ishai * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblems-with-php-version-8-01%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-php-version-8-01/#post-15963726) * Hi [@ishchai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ishchai/) I haven’t had reports of issues with 8.1. * Is there a specific error you are seeing in the error log? Also, could you share a public link? * Thread Starter [BitBloom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ishchai/) * (@ishchai) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-php-version-8-01/#post-15963924) * Dear Dcooney, The plugin works on a website of my client, since it doesn’t work with the new PHP version I downgraded the PHP version on the server so now it works fine there. So the reason the plugin didn’t work is for sure the new PHP version. That’s also why it won’t help to give you the link because now it runs on the old PHP version and there’s no issue. Still, I need to use the newer version on my server so I need to find out the source of the problem. * ``` When I check it on localhost that's the error I get on the console: Error: Error: ajax-load-more.min.js?ver=5.5.4.1:6 Request failed with status code 500 at t.exports (ajax-load-more.min.js?ver=5.5.4.1:6:62719) at t.exports (ajax-load-more.min.js?ver=5.5.4.1:6:90936) at XMLHttpRequest.x (ajax-load-more.min.js?ver=5.5.4.1:6:61109) ajax-load-more.min.js?ver=5.5.4.1:6 Error Msg: Request failed with status code 500 ajax-load-more.min.js?ver=5.5.4.1:6 ALM Error started in adminajax ajax-load-more.min.js?ver=5.5.4.1:6 ALM Error ``` * If you don’t know of any issues with the new version, I guess it might be some code inside the Repeater Template that doesn’t work on the new PHP version. * I would love to know your thought about it Thanks Ishai * Plugin Author [Darren Cooney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcooney/) * (@dcooney) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-php-version-8-01/#post-15963930) * [@ishchai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ishchai/) Can you check the server error logs not the browser console? * Thread Starter [BitBloom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ishchai/) * (@ishchai) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-php-version-8-01/#post-15963987) * FROM THE APACHE ERROR.LOG: * [Tue Aug 30 19:01:07.240775 2022] [php:warn] [pid 9440:tid 1892] [client ::1: 56677] PHP Warning: Undefined variable $post in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\wp- content\\uploads\\alm_templates\\default.php on line 4, referer: [http://localhost:8080/atikot/](http://localhost:8080/atikot/) [ Tue Aug 30 19:01:07.240775 2022] [php:warn] [pid 9440:tid 1892] [client ::1:56677] PHP Warning: Attempt to read property “ID” on null in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\ wp-content\\uploads\\alm_templates\\default.php on line 4, referer: [http://localhost:8080/atikot/](http://localhost:8080/atikot/)[ Tue Aug 30 19:01:07.240775 2022] [php:warn] [pid 9440:tid 1892] [client ::1:56677] PHP Warning: Undefined variable $post in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\wp-content\\ uploads\\alm_templates\\default.php on line 5, referer: [http://localhost:8080/atikot/](http://localhost:8080/atikot/)[ Tue Aug 30 19:01:07.240775 2022] [php:warn] [pid 9440:tid 1892] [client ::1:56677] PHP Warning: Attempt to read property “ID” on null in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\ wp-content\\uploads\\alm_templates\\default.php on line 5, referer: [http://localhost:8080/atikot/](http://localhost:8080/atikot/)[ Tue Aug 30 19:01:07.247758 2022] [php:error] [pid 9440:tid 1892] [client ::1: 56677] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, bool given in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\wp-content\\ uploads\\alm_templates\\default.php:97\nStack trace:\n#0 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\ wp-content\\plugins\\ajax-load-more\\core\\functions.php(95): include()\n#1 C:\\ xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\wp-content\\plugins\\ajax-load-more\\ajax-load-more.php( 686): alm_loop(‘default’, ‘default’, ‘null’, 8, 1, 1, 1, Array, false)\n#2 C:\\ xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\wp-includes\\class-wp-hook.php(307): AjaxLoadMore->alm_query_posts(”)\ n#3 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\wp-includes\\class-wp-hook.php(331): WP_Hook-> apply_filters(”, Array)\n#4 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\wp-includes\\plugin.php( 476): WP_Hook->do_action(Array)\n#5 C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\atikot\\wp-admin\\admin- ajax.php(187): do_action(‘wp_ajax_alm_get…’)\n#6 {main}\n thrown in C:\\xampp\\ htdocs\\atikot\\wp-content\\uploads\\alm_templates\\default.php on line 97, referer: [http://localhost:8080/atikot/](http://localhost:8080/atikot/) * Thread Starter [BitBloom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ishchai/) * (@ishchai) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-php-version-8-01/#post-15964096) * Fixed! * The problem was the function count in the Repeater Template..
