here you can find all the version for php extensions.

[sandeep]

many extensions are not yet compatible with php 8 like imagick, memcache, ssh2, ioncube etc. I'll post the installation instruction in my blog without 3rd party pecl extensions.

in CWP php 8 will be added after some time when this incompatible extensions get updates.

@sandeep Hello!

Thank you!

@josepp how it goes ?

Hello!

So far I have not had any problems I think....

So for the moment I think it works fine, there are not many customers who are changing their versions to php8. There are many plugins in WP or even themes that do not support it, we are going slowly.

[sandeep]

@josepp thanks i think php 8.0 is garbage wait for 8.1

[sandeep]

php extension imagick added.
