Just purchased and uploaded <span style=”color: #000000; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ‘Segoe UI’, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, ‘Helvetica Neue’, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;”>Version 5.12.3. Tried to activate and got a fatal error, could not activate. Same was the case with the old version after our server updated to PHP 8. Is this plugin supposed to be compatible with PHP 8? Can’t get it to work. We are on WordPress </span><span style=”color: #000000; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;”><span style=”font-size: 13px;”>5.8.2. </span></span>
Hope you have a solution.
January 4, 2022 at 4:04 PM #82531CharlieGParticipantI want to add that the plugin works on PHP 7.4 but breaks the site when we update to PHP 8.
January 5, 2022 at 6:01 PM #82534CiciKeymasterI have sent the info to the developer for his input.
January 6, 2022 at 1:32 PM #82536CiciKeymasterCharlie,
There are or were issues that I have uncovered in the WordPress support forumshttps://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-8-and-wp-5-6-php-fatal-error-uncaught-error-call-to-undefined-function/
Did you save the Fatal error script so we could see the error message generated?
January 6, 2022 at 1:47 PM #82537CharlieGParticipantWith debug enabled, it showed this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token “\” in /home/lynnmfg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/store-locator-le/include/module/text/SLP_Text.php on line 239

January 7, 2022 at 1:26 PM #82553CiciKeymasterThank you, I will pass this along to the developer
January 11, 2022 at 7:55 AM #82556CharlieGParticipantWhen can I expect a fix? If your plugin won’t work anymore, please refund.
January 17, 2022 at 4:14 PM #82562CiciKeymasterDon’t use PHP 8 until the developer has a chance to address this or you may opt to switch to the SLP SaaS which works fine and is not dependent on you updating the plug-in and has no problems reported with PHP versions.
The WordPress plug-in details are compatible with the WP version as shown
Version5.12.3Updated2021-08-3Directorystore-locator-leWP VersionsTested 5.8 , Min 5.3Our developer will get to it when he finished his current projects.
Sorry for the inconvenience
January 17, 2022 at 4:16 PM #82563CiciKeymasterP.S. if you need a refund you need to contact support. This forum topic does not provide us with enough info to issue a refund.
January 30, 2022 at 11:52 PM #82597peterParticipantIs there any update on this? PHP 8 has been out for a while now.

HP 8.0 is a major version update with a large number of changes that break backwards compatibility, and many features that were deprecated within the PHP 7.x feature releases have been officially removed. PHP 8 uses much stricter typing than previous versions. Many built-in functions are now pickier about the input they accept, and PHP 8 itself is more stringent about how input is passed to functions. Issues that previously resulted in notices now result in warnings, and issues that previously resulted in warnings now result in errors.
In other words, PHP 8 is not as lenient as previous versions. It will not try quite as hard to make code work no matter what.
Since the majority of our customers have not updates to PHP 8, we will not be tacking this in the near future.
The developer suggests you NOT update to PHP 8 because of the issue with backwards compatibility.
April 11, 2022 at 3:35 PM #82757jasonfarranParticipantHello,
I am getting the same error when I try to enable the plugin. I repurchased the plugin hoping it was caused by some old version I was stuck on, but I’m still getting the error.
Changing to php 7.4 did not fix the issue. I am not able to use this plugin or the $250 extension I purchased.

Please advise on what I should do.
April 12, 2022 at 10:40 AM #82758CiciKeymasterJason,
I believe you sent an email to support.
As mentioned in above posts the SLP plug-in does work on PHP 7.4. You did not purchase older versions but have recently purchased the latest version.
browsers will not open the url you provided because it is not secure. You need to follow the guidelines for correctly migrating your site and/or obtaining an updated SSL.
The SLP plug-in works with PHP 7.4.
Deactivate all plug-ins before activating SLP. Follow these directions
You should be using a dev or clone site to update and test.April 14, 2022 at 2:06 PM #82759CiciKeymaster@jasonfarran
I double checked your site and it appears you have now loaded , updated and activated the latest version of SLP . Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks
June 14, 2022 at 12:15 PM #82796CiciKeymasterCan you double check this. Lance said he had fixed the Issue with PhP 8 — there was a comment line that PHP8 didn’t like. That has been addressed.
June 14, 2022 at 12:17 PM #82797CiciKeymasterThat text line and the issue with PhP 8 has been addressed. let us know if you see anything when you update to PHP 8
July 7, 2022 at 9:06 AM #82805Lulu TupperParticipantHi Cici,
I just installed the latest 5.12.3 plugin version and tested a PHP 8.0 upgrade and am receiving a “There has been a critical error on your website” message when attempting to view the site. When I checked the site error logs, I’m getting the following:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token “\\” in …/wp-content/plugins/store-locator-le/include/module/text/SLP_Text.php on line 239
July 11, 2022 at 11:24 AM #82807CiciKeymasterCan you restore to PHP 7.4 and see if that is the issue once again. I have addressed this with the developer. They have been working on various coding with the plug-in to get it delisted in WP and I want to. see if the PHP version is an issue again. Thanks

July 14, 2022 at 11:42 AM #82814CiciKeymasterIf anyone wants to help us do a final test of SLP 5.13 let us know. It should fix PHP 8 and also be compliant with the WordPress action list. ONLY IF YOU CAN TEST ON A DEV OR TEST SITE.
