Hi,

My client has requested an update on the hosting server to a newer version of PHP. Are the legacy Toolset plugins compatible with PHP 8.0.25 or later?

Please let me know the latest version of PHP I can use on the website: hidden link with the following Toolset plugins:

Toolset Access
Version 2.8.14

Toolset Forms
Version 2.6.13

Toolset Layouts
Version 2.6.11

Toolset Types
Version 3.4.16

Thank you,
Barbara

Hi there,

You need to update the plugin below:

Toolset Types from 3.4.16 to 3.4.17

But the toolset layouts plugin is not being maintained anymore and we can not guarantee seamless work with PHP 8.

Thanks.

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for your reply. Do you have any anecdotal information about people's experience updating to PHP 8 with legacy plugins installed?

Best,
