Jim, do I need to replace the name in constants with the default name? Or just eliminate that line altogether?

Good morning awesome folks. I just had a little suggestion, or perhaps it's too late or a dumb idea. When I click on the "Prepare for v5" prompt in admin, I am presented with several areas that may need attention, and if I want to find out more about the changes, I can click a link to get to the Feedback Forum. So I click on the link, I come here, and I am having to wade through topics that have nothing to do with the areas of concern in preparing for v5. I wonder if Admins here, could create those topics in advance, and link those areas to that topic so we don't have many topics all over the place related to "Open Tagging" being replaced. Can we create a topic with the exact title below for example "Status updates have been removed in V5" and have "feedback forum" link directly to that topic, that way it keeps the forum tidy, and all the discussions related to this area in one place, instead of us having to go to the general feedback forum, and hunt and peck for something related to Status Updates and possibly creating a new topic asking the same question that was already posed. I noticed @PoC2 already created a topic for "alternate directory" and he titled it beautifully! So that one is already done, now we need to link it to the link that prompts us in our admin Prepare for v5 section pictured below. If we can do that for all the v5 changes that appear in the image below, it sure would be convenient. Thanks for your consideration. Additional comment merged: Actually, I just had a revelation, what I am seeing in my admin area, may not be the same as others are seeing in their admin prep for v5. So really there could be dozens if not a hundred different scenario changes, making it impossible for admins to create different topics for each v5 change that shows up to us?

I'd like to get back to the default folder in prep for v5, so if I am understanding correctly, rename my adminxxxx folder back to "admin" and completely remove the custom name from constants.php? Thank you

Reply hidden again 🙂 But I went ahead and enabled GMP PHP so that works fine now too.

Well holly geesh fricken gobsmack! That was it all along Stuart! That php error really told the story didn't it? Thank guys for sticking through it with me, I greatly appreciate it!

I followed up more and this what A2 has come up with, any further directions is appreciated if any. 🙂 -------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for your reply and provided details - much appreciated. I was able to replicate the issue on the system checker file That file is located at www.thepatriotwoodworker.com/ips4.php. I have temporarily enabled display errors and was able to find the following when the PHP version is changed from 8.0 to 8.1: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysqli_report() in /home/thepatr1/public_html/ips4.php:20 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /home/thepatr1/public_html/ips4.php on line 20 Sadly nothing else is logged even in the Apache error logs. Hope that helps.

Got it thanks!

Stuart, forgive my ignorance, link to? my domain? Thanks 🙂

thanks Daniel, I'm not seeing any logs for the time frame php8.1 was attempted.

Jim, is that in Error Logs or System Logs? Thank sir

My last reply is hidden again 🙂 I'm flagged, and doomed!

I know this is not something you all have to deal with, looks like I need to go out and get a developer to figure this all out, but just thought I'd keep ya up to speed the correspondence with my host at A2 Hosting, good group of folks by the way. If any php gurus are tracking my issue here, I'd be receptive to you reaching out and giving me a cost to figure this out? Thank you! ME: Hello folks, the software I have installed is going to require php8.1 for the next upgrade, and the current version has been php8.1 compatible for quite awhile now. When I change my php version from 8.0 to 8.1 my website crashes. Can you please help me fix this? A2: I have checked that and indeed it shows errors when set to PHP 8.1. However, I am unable to debug it further, so you will need to ask your developer to check what is actually wrong there. I apologize for the inconvenience; the error message is generic, and I am not seeing any specific error logged here. Debugging can sometimes be tricky, but your developer should be able to handle it since they know the script much better. Please ask them to take a look. Actually, one more thing: I have tried both PHP 8.1 and 8.2, and both versions are throwing errors. However, it seems to be working with PHP 8.3, so please check if that is fully compatible with PHP 8.3. I have reverted PHP back to 8.0, of course. Hope it helps. I am of course standing by to provide you additional assistance, if needed. Remember we are here 24/7. Thank you! ME: Gordon thank you for your help! Appreciate it much. Is there a way I can get a PHP error log for this? The developer is asking. Thank you sir! John A2: You are most welcome, and I am glad that I could be of assistance. However, the PHP log is a bit tricky thing. I wasn't really able to debug that beyond the generic error as per the (attached screenshot), and I didn't see anything in the logs, so that is a kind of mystery to me. I apologize. I wish I could be more helpful to you, but that is the situation.

Hmm, my last post has been hidden for some reason.

I know this is unrelated but just showing yall I'm fine on 8.0

Randy, can you tell me where to retrieve a PHP error log? Thanks
