Page Builder And PHP 8.0
Russell Sawchuk
I just upgraded my Joomla 3:10.10 website to SP Page Builder 4.0.1. Initial testing suggests that it works fine when I have PHP 7.4 installed on the website. However, when I try and activate PHP 8.0, the site crashes and I get an "Unsupported operand types: string + string" notice on a blank page.
Here is part of the error log:
[29-Jul-2022 15:57:32 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Required parameter $class follows optional parameter $device in /home/stanthony/public_html/plugins/system/helixultimate/core/helixultimate.php on line 559 [29-Jul-2022 15:57:32 UTC] PHP Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break".

I am trying to upgrade all of my websites to PHP 8.0 but have been able for this site due to these issues. Your advice and assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Russell

Accepted AnswerHi there!
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Which template you are using, please?
MAke sure all of your extensions are PHP 8 compatible too.
The following blog may help you to upgrade the Joomla from 3 to 4:

Accepted AnswerHi Russell ,
90% of your errors were from module jux_megamenucss - it doesn't belong to us! Ask JUX team.
The only small warning that I saw from JoomShaper is that:
Undefined property: stdClass::$use_border in /home/stanthony/public_html/components/com_sppagebuilder/layouts/column/css.php on line 57
What version of SP Page Builder you have installed?

Accepted AnswerI also just had the same issue with php 8. I have sppb pro 3.8.7 and helix ultimate 2.0.10. The only error I had was this
Error: Class "HelixUltimate\Framework\Platform\Helper" not found: spl_autoload_unregister(): Argument #1 ($callback) must be a valid callback, function "__autoload" not found or invalid function name
