Hi, I tried installing PHP version 8.1, but the site is having issues with the WPBakery Page Builder plugin.

Here the details:

WordPress 6.4.2

Newspaper Theme 12.7.3

tagDiv Composer 5.4.2

PHP 7.4 works

PHP 8.1 → E_COMPILE_ERROR error in js_composer

WPBakery is required for the theme?

Thanks.

Hi,
WPBakery is a bundled plugin provided with the theme for older users who created pages using it. Some theme users have also created articles with this builder. However, it is not required, as the theme has its own builder, tagDiv Composer, which handles the theme layout.
If WPBakery is updated to the latest version, it should work with PHP 8+. We even recommend using PHP 8.3 for both the theme and WordPress.

Thank you!
