Problem when updating PHP version

Asked by Carlos Soria 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hello how are you, what happens is that I updated the PHP version from 7.4 to 8.0. I use the Finance Template, but first I tried it on another server and everything worked but when I did it on my server. When loading the site I got an error. I attach the image. and for it to be fixed I have to unzip the backup of the installation files that I had previously. How can you solve it.

I have the files and the database from the previous backup before making the updates but I don't know if restoring it scares me that it won't work. Can you help me.!

Hello Carlos Soria

We are fine. Hope you are fine too.

Finance is not yet PHP 8 compatible. Please wait for our official compatibility announcement. Use PHP 7.4 until then. Apology for the inconvenience.

Best regards

Dear, I already made it go back to the PHP 7.4 version but I don't know why after certain days I get the error message that I show you in the image. https://ibb.co/BqfG5ZQ

Dear, I'm still using Joomla 3 because my theme is not compatible with Joomla 4

Those settings were in Joomla 2.5, and J3.x .... just look into Global Configuration.

you could have checked first before you wrote a new post

Before updating the PHP version, make a backup, I even tried it on another server, what I don't understand is why I get the image error after certain days, and the only way to fix it is by unzipping the last backup I made.

The Web world is full of mysteries, that's why the work of a webmaster sometimes combines the tasks of a private detective. This is also the same judgment of my friends who have been in the field of website development or web management for over 15 years.
