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.

Nov 21, 2022Hi Brian,
We are getting this error in the CP when previewing an entry to edit. (Its the regular EE Preview not the view draft and preview).
I’m using a simple grid inside a block element.
Here is the error
—-
Cannot access offset of type string on string
user/addons/simple_grids/abstract.simple_grids.php:218

Hi Brian, PHP Version 8.1.12

Try changing line 218 of the abstract file to this:

That seemed to have fixed the issue. We are able to see the previews now with Grid Fields. Thanks
BoldMinded (Brian)
Awesome. I’ll include this with the next release.
