The latest phorum release does not work with PHP 8.x. Are there any plans to release an update that does?

What kind of error messages do you get?

I was able to upgrade to php 8 but now my site doesn't. display correctly, error logs shows 500 error from certain php files css.php, javascript.php, register.php etc but others such as login.php give 200.

When i try to login to admin there is no login display.

Well, that's what I experienced after updating my server to PHP 8.0. If you can manage to have PHP errors shown (either directly on the requested web page of your Phorum installation, or e.g. in Server PHP log files), you will see many errors which show that the Phorum source code is kind of outdated and not PHP 8.0 ready.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no Phorum developer who can engage and fix those issues by now.

So I resolved the issue by using a fix you suggested in another post. I renamed my mod folder and pages display correctly. I still have to test to see which modules are causing the problem.

Thanks

I have managed to update the code on my website to make Phorum work with the latest versions of MySQL and PHP using Claude Code. Of course, as a result, I have now a completely customized version of Phorum, but it could be a working approach to update Phorum.
