Hey Henry!

We have done some deeper investigation into the issues you’ve been having with the site since the update to PHP 8.1.

We did some conflict checks to confirm the plugin that was having the issue. We found that the offending plugin can be confirmed as SWPM Full Page Protection (swpm-full-page-protection). Looking through the errors it was definitely something that was being affected by the PHP version so we went and looked at the versions of the plugins installed on your site. We found that the version of SWPM Full Page Protection was version 1.7. A new version of the plugin was available at https://simple-membership-plugin.com/full-page-protection-addon-simple-membership/ and after downloading this version we found that the changelog file stated that version 1.9 was released to make the plugin compatible with PHP 8.0+.

The exact changelog entry states the below:
= 1.9 =
* PHP 8.0 compatibility.

We have updated the plugins on both the staging and production environments for you as a one-off so that we could test and confirm the fix. In the future, it is important for you to ensure the latest versions of plugins and extensions are installed on your site to make sure it stays compatible with the latest versions of PHP nad WordPress.

Both the staging and production sites are running on PHP 8.1. Please confirm that all the issues are now fixed.

If you have any further queries or we can help you in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out again.

Have a great day!
Many thanks,
Thom
