    I get an error when trying to activate this plugin:

    Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version “>= 8.1.0”.

    Hello Chargin,

    Yes, this issue could happen if your PHP version was below 8.1. Previously, the plugin required PHP 7.1 as the minimum, but the Imagick library used for conversion required at least PHP 8.1. This mismatch could cause the error you experienced.

    Updating your PHP version to 8.1 (or higher) should resolve the problem.
    In the latest update, I’ve aligned the plugin’s minimum PHP requirement with the libraries — now it’s PHP 8.1 — so such incompatibilities will no longer occur.

    Thank you for reporting this!

    Best regards,
    Denis

    Thanks, I cant use 8.1 as I have some older plugins, we are using 8.0. So I can use an older version of your plugin perhaps?

    Hello Chargin,

    Unfortunately, no — even the very first version of the plugin requires PHP 8.1 or higher. The Imagick library used for image conversion depends on PHP 8.1, so it wouldn’t work correctly on PHP 8.0 or lower.

    If upgrading your PHP version is not an option right now due to compatibility with older plugins, the only workaround would be to run the plugin on a separate site or environment with PHP 8.1+.

    Best regards,
    Denis
