Osclass 4.3 - PHP 8 Compatibility & Customization Features

Osclass continues to be one of the best open-source classifieds scripts, and its continuous development ensures long-term stability and security. In this release, we introduce full compatibility with PHP 8, a new Customization section in the admin panel, and additional usability improvements.

PHP 8 Compatibility Update

Ensuring Osclass works seamlessly with the latest technologies is a priority, and PHP 8 introduced significant changes that required adjustments throughout the core system.

  • Complete review and update of all core files to ensure PHP 8 compatibility.
  • More than 120 themes and plugins at OsclassPoint.com were updated for PHP 8 support.
  • Performance enhancements and security improvements with new PHP 8 functions.

If you encounter any issues after upgrading to PHP 8, ensure that:

  • You have updated all themes and plugins.
  • You check the latest version of your products in the OsclassPoint Market.
  • If the issue persists, create a support ticket for premium products or seek help on support forums for free products.

New Customization Section in Backoffice

One of the biggest challenges for Osclass users has been maintaining custom modifications after updates. Previously, custom CSS changes required modifying theme files, which could be overwritten in updates. Now, Osclass provides a dedicated Customization section where users can safely add their own CSS code without worrying about updates.

Key Benefits of the Customization Section:

  • Easy to use: No need for complex child themes or manual file editing.
  • Safe from updates: Your CSS modifications remain intact even after upgrading Osclass.
  • Quick styling: Easily adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and layout without modifying theme files.

Where to Find the Customization Section?

Navigate to Oc-admin > Appearance > Customization to add your CSS code.

Phone Number Display in User Table

To improve user management in the backoffice, the Users table now includes phone numbers. This allows administrators to:

  • Quickly view and verify user contact details.
  • Identify potential fraudulent users based on phone numbers.
  • Improve customer support by accessing phone details easily.

Where to Find It?

Navigate to Oc-admin > Users to see the new column with user phone numbers.
