Hello,
when I switch my hoster to PHP 8.0, I get an error message and this e-mail from WordPress.

Hi!

Since WordPress 5.2, there’s a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site and notifies you about it with this automated email.

In this case, WordPress caught an error in your Newspaper Child theme.

First visit your website (https://www.fehnblogger.de/) and check for visible problems.

The website can then no longer be accessed, the only solution is to reset to PHP 7.4.

What can I do to make the theme and template (Magazine Pro) work with PHP 8.0?

Hi,
In that message the problem is related to the child theme. If you activate the main theme the problem is still persisting (is possible to be something in the child theme that is deprecated or something like that).
Thank you!

Hi,
you are absolutely right, as soon as I take the main theme, the error is no longer there. Can I just take it like that or is it still advisable to use a child theme

Hi,
We no longer recommended the use of the child theme since we switched to cloud templates -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ -> https://i.imgur.com/4IOdjA7.png
