Fatal errors on PHP 8 from create_function
The plugin triggers fatal errors and white-screen crashes on PHP 8 because it still calls create_function, which PHP has removed.

What's going wrong
Site owners running PHP 8 or newer report that installing or activating the GetYourGuide widget plugin throws a fatal error and can take down their whole website. The cause is an old function call that PHP removed, so the plugin stops before it loads. Some owners edited the source themselves to get past the error, and a few reported that blocks and widgets still failed afterward, with currency and language settings not displayed. Newspaper and blog operators are most affected because a failed activation can break a live page. The gap is a safe way to test and patch such plugins before they reach production.
