# WordPress Dashboard error using PHP 8.0

 * After upgrading to PHP 8.0, I could no longer access weForms from the WordPress
   dashboard. Selecting weForms from the dashboard menu gives the error, “There 
   has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email
   inbox for instructions.” There is no email.
 * After disabling all plugins and reenabling them one at a time, I determined that
   weForms was the only plugin effected. Reverting back to PHP 7.4 fixed the issue.
   Luckily, PHP 7.4 is still actively supported through 28 N0v 2021.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwordpress-dashboard-error-using-php-8-0%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@rhinosfan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhinosfan/),
 * ​Thank you for reaching out to support! We have a release candidate out and are
   actually planning on doing a release really soon for the PHP updates. 7.4 will
   work in the meantime until the update comes out. I appreciate the patience while
   we get this rolled out.
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@rhinosfan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rhinosfan/),
 * Thank you for the wait. PHP 8.0 works in the latest version of weForms of 1.6.8.
   Please update to the latest version. Let us know if you need anything else.
 * Thanks
    Elana D.
