I just updated my local copy of wpForo to version 2.2.4 on Wamp64 (php v7.3.12) and it basically caused a fatal error in Cache.php on the following lines...

class Cache {

public string $dir;
public string $locale = '';
public string $special_key = '';
private array $touched_postids = [];

I was able to restore my local site by editing these lines of code to the following...

class Cache {

   public $dir;
   public $locale;
   public $special_key;
   private $touched_postids = [];

I've not updated my site on the public server yet as didn't want to risk bringing it down

Any ideas what caused this error or is it down to the PHP version on my Wamp64?

btw My public server runs PHP v8.0

@werdermouth,

This is a PHP 7.3 issue. Please use PHP 8.x versions, at least PHP 7.4. In any case we've adopted wpForo for PHP 7.x version in upcoming version.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
