All add-ons currently require PHP 7.4 or greater.

On July 4th 2024 PHP 8.2 will be the new minimum requirement for all add-ons. Expect any add-on released after that date to require 8.2 or greater. Some releases may not immediately take advantage of 8.x specific features in PHP, which means you might, be able to continue using new releases in PHP 7.4, however, if you experience an error the first thing you should do is update to PHP 8.2 then create a support ticket if the error persists.

Please read about the changes to BoldMinded add-on licensing.

Hi, I’m using

{exp:system_messages:js}

and I’m correctly seeing error messages such as:

You did not submit a search term

Search terms must be at least 3 characters in length

with Ajax rendering, but when I input an actual correct search phrase, I get the above error message.
I attach the configuration…

My version of the plugin is the latest: 2.4.2

Thank you for your help
