    We are in the process of upgrading all of our Elementor sites to PHP8 and we have discovered the upgrade causes a critical error for EXISTING Elementor Pages. You can clone NEW pages fine, however not existing pages. Running native twenty twenty three theme and only 2 x plugins active (Elementor & Yoast Duplicate Post)

    Hi @kevin-fouche,
    we’re sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems.
    We haven’t been able to reproduce the bug:

    • we created some Elementor pages in PHP 7.4, either with Elementor 3.7.4 (which was the main version on Sep 10th) and 3.8.1
    • we switched to PHP 8.0, and later even PHP 8.1
    • we made sure to be on the latest Elementor version
    • we tried to copy those pages with Yoast Duplicate Post bu we didn’t get any error or warnings, even with WP_DEBUG on

    Can you maybe help us in finding what’s the actual error by looking at the PHP error logs, or installing a plugin such as Query Monitor? We are working hard to improve the compatibility of our plugins with PHP 8.* and those info would be very valuable to us.
    Thanks for your report and your help!

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    This is an example of an error log when trying to clone an Elementor page after updating to PHP8. I hope this helps…

    Hi there is there any feedback in regards to this? This is occurring on multiple sites, so it is not an isolated event.

    Hey @kevin-fouche,

    Thank you for your replies and error log.

    However, I tried to replicate it but to no avail. This is what I tried:

    I have tested on local sites through Local (by Flywheel), running the latest Yoast SEO (v19.11), Elementor (v3.8.1) and Yoast Duplicate Post (v.4.5).

    Both on PHP 8.0.22, PHP 8.1.9 – I had no issues. No error logs or visual errors while cloning existing or new pages, posts or when trying to do a rewrite and republish.

    In the error log you shared there is a reference to some autoloading. Do you happen to run anything specifically on the hosting level that does something with speed/loading? When you said it happens on multiple sites you are maintaining, do they live on the same hosting environment? Can you share more details on that? Maybe a Site Health site info copy would be nice to see.

    Hey Jeroen, all sites are hosted on Kinsta. where can I send site health info to? Is the a support desk instead of a public forum?

    Hey @kevin-fouche,

    Personal or private email support comes only available with our premium plugins, and not for our free plugin Duplicate Post. The Site Health info should not contain any security or other personal details as far as I know, but you could mask some of the content or links if necessary.

    Thanks for providing your setup info. It seems most of your active plugins, including WordPress, require an update, and a few we’ve highlighted below that is worth looking at and needs an update.

    • Elementor: version: 3.7.7 (latest version: 3.9.1) Auto-updates disabled
    • Elementor Pro: version: 3.7.7(latest version: 3.9.1), Auto-updates disabled
    • Yoast SEO: version: 19.7.1 (latest version: 19.12)

    Could you please update those plugins and see if that help resolve the error? We ask because we need to rule out if there are any compatibility issues in your specific setup.

    We recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for your site’s health and safety. A backup is crucial before installing, updating, or removing plugins and provides you with a safety net if something were to go wrong. Learn more about the benefits of regular backups.
