 Hi @jean-pierre-martel,

 Welcome to Trac!

 Please be advised, WordPress 5.5.x does not (and will not) support PHP 8.

 WordPress 5.6, due out at the end of November, will be PHP 8 compatible.
 However, PHP 8 is a very large update with many breaking changes. There
 are a number of considerations to be made prior to upgrading.

 Stay tuned the the make.wordpress.org/core blog in the next week for more
 information.

 It’s also likely that your plugins and theme will require updates prior to
 upgrading to PHP 8 as well.

 I’m going to close this ticket out because you are reporting specifically
 against WordPress 5.5. If you’d like to help test, please update to
 WordPress 5.6 using the beta tester plugin. However, that is not
 recommended in production.
