Contact Form 7 compatible with PHP 8?

The Contact Form 7 plugin is great, and works with PHP 8.0 without noticeable issues.

With PHP 8.1 that recently came out, CF7 still works, but the error logs are full of warnings for many plugins. Here are some examples:

PHP Deprecated: Return type of WPCF7_FormTag::offsetExists($offset) should either be compatible with ArrayAccess::offsetExists(mixed $offset): bool, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/form-tag.php on line 396

Same here, lots of same deprecation notices. Testing php 8.1 now.

They are all in:
includes/form-tag.php
includes/validation.php

@takayukister , any chance of fixing this?

Thanks. 🙂

Does anyone know if the PHP 8.1 errors have been fixed yet?

WordPress allegedly powers the visible internet. It’s powered by PHP. Why is there is no communication between the development communities. Surprising? Sadly, no.
