Hi,

Today, I updated my website with the version 3.26 of Creativity Template.
Is it compatible with PHP 8.0?
On my side, it appears it is not.

Thanks for your reply

Hi,

I just tested the version 3.26 of Creativity on my test website with PHP 8.0.
I got an error.
To be sure that the problem is related to the template, I switched the site template to protostart. Then I disabled Creativity in the extension manager. My website is running.
So I guess, the problem is related to the template.

You can check the problem with the following URL: https://migration.guillenphoto.com/

I can give you access to the admin of my test website if you want. For me it will be helpful.
Let me know what to do.

amarguillen I can give you access to the admin of my test website if you want.

Please edit fields in first post and submit a temp super user login and FTP details for staff.

Hi,

I edited the fields and added a super user login.
here are some information about the test website:
- it is a multilingual website (English and French).
- The cache is disabled.
- JCH is disabled.
- Debug is actived.

I downloaded gk-academy for a test. It works but it does not support K2. So there is no content displayed. But at least, I can check I do not the problem.
Thanks for your help.
