We plan to upgrade our website to PHP 8.0 but before doing this want to be sure that the Sparkling Theme will also support PHP 8.0.

Please advise whether Sparkling supports PHP 8.0.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have read in this forum that there are problems with Sparkling and PHP 8.0.

Surely this is an issue, which your technical team should be checking and eventually updating. Otherwise the Sparkling Theme will become outdated and obsolete.

This would be a great shame because the Sparkling Theme is an outstanding one and used by many thousands of websites.

Please check with your technical team and confirm what is happening.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

With gratitude,

Sparkling has just been updated to version 2.4.9.

Does it now support PHP 8.0?

Where can we see what changes have been made when a new version is released?
