What's going wrong
Site owners who upgraded to PHP 8.0, 8.1 or 8.2 report that the plugin throws fatal errors when its shortcode renderers run, with type errors on string operations and parse errors in carousel templates. Some sites fail to load at all, so affected owners roll back PHP versions to recover. Others find deprecation warnings during a PHP upgrade that block the move. Several reviewers identify the exact line causing the failure, showing the problem is reproducible. The gap is a tool that tests a site's plugins against a new PHP version before the host upgrades it, and warns owners where a crash would occur.
