Attempt to modify property "shortcode_tags" on null

Asked by Mike Lawson 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Hello, I was hoping you could maybe provide some insight..

I am using an older template (Maxima) for my website heatingandcoolingservice.com

All of a sudden, my website is giving the error in the subject line...and Im thinking that maybe the template is having a PHP error? My host has deprecated PHP7 altogether..you think that is the issue?

Hello, here is the error when PHP8 is set: https://prnt.sc/mLRKUvAoLbZB

The website link is in my original message. I now have it set back to PHP7 so it will load.

All Im really asking is if the Template and Helix version I am using is compatible with PHP8

I am using Helix version 2.5, and Maxima template version 1.6

Unfortunately, the template info on your website doesnt include php compatibility.

The template is very old. It is last updated in 2019. It might not even work with PHP 7. I would suggest you to consider an updated template and rebuild your site. This will be benefitial for future.

Mike Lawson Asked this

Yes, I know the template is old.

Yes, it does work with PHP7.

Where can I find out what PHP version it's compatible with? I feel like the developer should know this.

It might work with PHP 7. But we have not tested it in years. So, we can't verify the PHP version compatiblity.
