Wcp stopped working after server update

Widget Controls Pro was working great on our site at

https://www.antibodysociety.org/

With most of the site using one set of header and sidebar widgets and a subset at

The AIRR Community

using another. However, after our server was updated to PHP 8, I did a series of plugin updates and something happened – the same WCP settings now show the custom widgets on every subpage except home.

What I had was two header and sidebar widgets with “Show everywhere except” and “Show only on” set, with the following rules:

![home]
the-airr-community/*
[has_term:airr-community:category]
[category:airr-community]

Edit: Forgot to mention, WordPress version we use is 5.7.5 and I didn’t update it, nor the theme files.

    Hi!

    Thanks for using our tools!

    I see from your site that you are running version 2.4.0 which is not the latest one. What I would first recommend is to use the latest version. As your access to updates has expired last year in April, you would have to renew access here https://www.itthinx.com/shop/widgets-control-pro/ and update to the latest release. If the issue still persists after that, we would have to look at your site’s debug.log to see if there might be any conflict.

    Kind regards
