 Security support for PHP 8.0 will end in November 2023. However, WordPress
 itself still recommends PHP 7.4 and has still only defined all 8 versions
 as beta.

 **When can we expect WordPress to finally officially support current PHP
 versions?**

 The problem:
 WordPress itself seems to work flawlessly with 8.1 and 8.2, but many
 plugins do not and the manufacturers always refer to the WordPress version
 below:
