Critical error on this website

Description

Hi,

recently we (and our clients) are receiving more and more "critical error" messages.

Looking at the message in detail we see, that the message (and the whole error detection) refers to an outdated PHP version (e.g. 7.0). Yet the monitored WP implementation works with PHP version 8.0

Question: why does the routine use an outdated and unused PHP version for the monitoring?

It would be fine if the error detection routine would use the same PHP version for its monitoring as the website uses.

Or if these particular messages could be stopped, as they are not only useless but confusing.

Hi @ewerkstatt,

one possible explanation: you run WP Cron via PHP CLI and PHP binary that is being executed is in version 7.0. But it's just a guess.

Hmm, the external execution of wp-cron would influence the monitoring itself? It's just a call of wp-cron.php, and that PHP-file should/would then run under 8.*
Or am I wrong?

It's just a call of wp-cron.php, and that PHP-file should/would then run under 8.*.

Is it a call that executes wp-cron.php in PHP CLI context or a HTTP request to http://yourwebsite.tld/wp-cron.php? If the latter, is the domain the same as live domain (ie. no staging or temporary domain)?

Hm, currently no external call of wp-cron.php active for the mentioned website. I will have to change that, yet this gets now even more misterious. BTW, same phenomenon at another site ...
