Overview
A training provider's LearnDash platform broke after upgrading to PHP 8.4: course pages failed, users were logged out and errors appeared. We fixed the compatibility issues and then moved assignment uploads to Google Cloud Storage, so media is uploaded and deleted in the cloud bucket rather than on the web server.
What we built
- PHP 8.4 compatibility fixes on WordPress and LearnDash
- Course page and sign-in bugs resolved
- Assignment uploads offloaded to Google Cloud Storage, including deletion
