Notes

This specific repository assumes you're running PHP 8.0. At the time of this writing, WordPress is not fully compatible with PHP 8.0; however, if you change the references to PHP 7.4.28 in

• composer.json
• plugin.php

Then you should be okay. If you still experience problems, make sure you're not running Composer 2. If that still doesn't work, don't hesitate to open an issue.
