Our outside facilites are clean and covered open space along with an exercise area.

We have extended outside areas to allow dogs sufficient room to get exercise and run around in a safe environment.

<span>PawsFest!</span>
Each year we host a PawsFest on the Town Square in Headland to provide a way that owners can showcase their dogs.

So I installed the Grace Themes Creative World Pro theme and the showcase works fine under PHP 8.0.

I made changes to the Theme Options > Homepage Slider. Just replacing the images and the text.

Showcase had the same issues as the other theme under PHP 8.0. Screenshot: https://snipboard.io/YX6uld.jpg

Notice there are 15 dots for individual slides but there are only 5 slides. Not sure what is up with that.

So I reverted the website back to PHP 7.4 and VIOLA…it works.

This ‘truly’ blows my mind. Why would the default installed settings work fine under PHP 8.0 but once I make any changes, it doesn’t work under PHP 8.0 but does under PHP 7.4.

So I restored the default settings back to the installed theme settings and the page displays fine under PHP 7.4. Screenshot: https://snipboard.io/9NZusJ.jpg

I changed the website back to PHP 8.0 and refreshed the page. ARGH….it now has the same issue with the showcase not displaying properly and showing 12 dots!

Note: There are only two plugins and I had disabled both so it’s not a conflict with a plugin.
