Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Your website's server is using PHP 8, which is currently not supported.
( ref: https://toolset.com/toolset-requirements/ )

Can you please switch to PHP 7 and let us know if this error appears again?

regards,
Waqar

Hi,

I have downgraded the PHP to 7.4 and it seems OK. Don't you have any information when it will be solved?

Thanks for the update and glad that it worked.

At the moment, we have no time estimate to share for the PHP 8 support, but, important updates like this are usually announced through our blog posts.
