Comment:

 The text is correct, WordPress recommends PHP 7.4, 8.0 or higher.

 Anyone saying WordPress "doesn't support PHP8" is IMHO personal opinion,
 you can run WordPress on PHP8 without issue currently.

 Not all plugins support PHP8, Not all themes support PHP8, and some of
 them can trigger PHP Notices/Warnings inside WordPress - See

 this php8 query] for currently known-but-not-fixed related issues.
