Hi Chris,

I don't normally recommend upgrading an established site / installation; instead I would recommend trying the appropriate Forward Compatibility Patch for your existing version. In addition, for PHP 8 compatibility having applied the required upgrades for PHP7+ edit includes/widget.php and look for the following code at line 351:

  if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())

...and REPLACE with:

  if (FALSE)

Make sure you have a backup of any files to be replaced before applying any changes, if any of the files that need to be replaced have been modified and you're not sure how to re-apply any changes let me know and I'll try and point you in the right direction...

Cheers,
David.
