What PHP version are you currently using?

I don’t think there are many ‘breaking changes’ between PHP 8.2 and PHP 8.3 (and PHP 8.2 should work fine with MODX 2.8.7). Maybe you get some more warnings in the log.

I just tried my own site (MODX 2.8.7) in PHP 8.3, and it works fine. As long as you have all the correct PHP extensions loaded in 8.3, it should probably work, as long as you don’t have plugins that are incompatible with PHP 8.x.

thanks @halftrainedharry @snowcreative . good to hear the same from you. we did the same test of php8.3 on modx2.8.7 and all is clear. no error_log files, no error-log in modx. and all pages load, doclisters etc and the forms work - so very happy with that. thanks for the feedback.

I also had no problems when switching to php 8.3 (MODX 2.8.7)

thanks @erhard . we have a few modx2.8.7 sites moved to php8.3 and no issues, no error_logs, no warnings screens. hopefully php8.4 … php8.9 :slight_smile: will be as smooth :slight_smile: . long live modx2.8.x
