Question

This plugin is erroneously recommended as a checker for compatibility with php 8.0

Your app is recommended on Wordpress.org as a checker to validate the safety of upgrading to php 8.0 in the upcoming forced upgrade. Your app does no such thing.

Care to update?

The information on https://wordpress.org/plugins/php-compatibility-checker/ should be updated with new screenshots as the current ones are obsolete with latest version of the plugin version 1.6.1 and the text "UPDATE TO PHP 7.4" and "Use this plugin to check your site for compatibility up to PHP 7.4!" should be replaced to PHP 8.0 as the Scan Results for PHP Compatibility shows 8.0

I no longer have access to the WordPress instance. It was completely bricked by the PHP 8 update. I'm not recreating it. Someone else will have to test this for you.
