    Hi! After I upgraded my website to PHP 8 (WP 6.1.1) there’s an error message:

    Warning: The magic method Download_Attachments::__wakeup() must have public visibility in /homepages/14/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/Autorenblog/wp-content/plugins/download-attachments/download-attachments.php on line 106

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/14/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/Autorenblog/wp-content/plugins/download-attachments/download-attachments.php:106) in /homepages/14/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/Autorenblog/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 1416

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/14/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/Autorenblog/wp-content/plugins/download-attachments/download-attachments.php:106) in /homepages/14/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/Autorenblog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6865

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/14/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/Autorenblog/wp-content/plugins/download-attachments/download-attachments.php:106) in /homepages/14/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/Autorenblog/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 9

    I managed to eliminate the error message by setting /Autorenblog/wp-content/plugins/download-attachments/download-attachments.php on line 106 from private to public, but I don’t know if there might be further problems with downloads. It would be better to get an update for this plugin to work properly with PHP 8 or higher.

    Now I found the line
    I opened that file line 106 :

    private function __wakeup() {

    How should I change that line?

    changin public function __wakeup() { did not help

    If I choose option Display position “after” that plugin works in php 8.1 (without [download-attachments] – tag) but that works only i normal pages.

    I use that plugin in woocommerce and there the option “after content” dont show anything. To show the plugin in woocommerce I have to use shortcode [download-attachments] which work only in php 7.4

    If I try to use some other plugin, working in php 8.1, I have to add attachments again for about 100 products!!!

    Hi,

    You should not have an issue like that. Since version 1.3.1 that issue has been sorted out.
    Download attachments works properly even with the latest PHP 8.3.9
