 * Good morning
 * A few days ago I updated the PHP version on my server to the latest version. 
   After that update I started getting an error message and couldn’t log into my
   admin panel and I received the following error message:
 *     ```
       When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
       WordPress version 5.8
       Current theme: GeneratePress (version 3.0.4)
       Current plugin: Search Regex (version 2.4.1)
       PHP version 8.0.3
   
       Error Details
       =============
       An error of type E_PARSE was caused in line 322 of the file /home/************/public_html/wp-content/plugins/search-regex/models/search.php. Error message: syntax error, unexpected token "::", expecting "("
       ```
   
 * Could you please advise in the above and also let me know when the compatibility
   update will be released as I am still getting the WordPress plugin compatibility
   warning on the installed plugin page.
 * With many thanks in advance ~ have a nice day. 🙂
