Testing a theme for PHP 8.0 compatibility

    Hi everybody,
    I frequently code themes based on the https://underscores.me/ None of these websites using that theme ever had any problems running on PHP 8.0 or 8.1

    Today for the first time I have a problem after changing the PHP version the site does not work at all. After switching back to PHP 7.4: I tried https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/ to see where the bug is located. But the plugin did not work.

    Does anybody know how I can locate the bug? It will be hard to check every line manually.

    Thanks, for ideas!
    Raphael

    What happens if you enable debugging? That should signpost where the issue is/are.

    No, on PHP 7.4 everything is OK. In PHP 8.0 the website is down because of an fundamental error. Therefore I cannot see any debugging informations.

    Maybe a look in the errorl logs might show where the bug is located. I will have a look which kind of information the hoster offers. Thanks for the idea.

    I agree. Error logs are your best bet in this case. Good luck with hunting down the bug(s).

    Yes, I already checked it. In fact, I do not understand what it is about. I think the problem is caused by something the hoster is responsible for. I sent it to the support.

    I switched from 7.4 to 8.0 on many sites, all of them with my hand coded themes. And I never had any prtoblems.
