Hi,
We have a website which has the Enfold Version 4.7.6.3 theme that is on a server running PHP 7.4.33 and the hosting company will be updating it to PHP 8.0 in the next month.
Please advise whether this theme and associated plugins are compatible with PHP 8.0.
Thanks,
Hey antiguanice,
Enfold Version 4.7.6.3 is not PHP v8 ready, you will need to update to v5.6.3
unfortunately your version can not be updated automatically in the theme update option, you will need to manually update and then create a new Token in your Theme Forest account to enable future automatic updates.
While typically most users don’t experience any issues with updating older versions, there is a chance that your customizations may not preform as expected, so I recommend creating a staging site first and test an update on it to check for any issues, and if you find none then update your live site.
To update your version of Enfold you will need to download the latest installable WP version from your Theme Forest account and upload it to your WordPress ▸ Appearance ▸ Themes ▸ Add Themes ▸ Add New
after you choose the zip file and click install, you will see a This theme is already installed message because you are updating, you can continue
then you will see the Theme updated successfully message.
Best regards,
Mike
