Question Multi PhP Versions

Hi Team,

My webtrees runs on cPanel just fine when the following conditions are met
- under cPanel \ MultiPHP Manager \ the webtrees site is set to 7.4
- under cPanel \ PHP Selector \ the Current PHP version is set to 7.4

the problem is a) 7.4 is deprecated and b) my other Wordpress sites that run on the same cPanel aren't working.

If I set the Current PHP Version to 8.0 or above, all my Wordpress sites work again but, webtrees does not

Ideas ?

Nothing attached.

Odd, I can see my attached TXT when posting but not when it's posted.

See errors below in plain text then.

What I did

The error "interface JsonSerializable not found" occurs due to not enabling the JSON in the PHP info settings.

Ask your hosting provider to enable 'ext-json'.

The PHP extensions must be enabled per version of PHP, these are not shared.

A full list of extensions required by webtrees can be found here:
github.com/fisharebest/webtrees/blob/2.1...omposer.json#L33-L44

• ext-ctype
• ext-curl
• ext-fileinfo
• ext-gd
• ext-iconv
• ext-intl
• ext-json
• ext-mbstring
• ext-pcre
• ext-pdo
• ext-session
• ext-xml

JSON is already active on all versions of PHP (in fact you can't even disable it) though PDO was not, and now it's all working on version 8.0...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction @bertkoor
