You're absolutely right. I know where you're going with this. 😄 Is it breaking? I guess not by definition. It now requires PHP>=8.0, ProcessWire>=3.0.0. So you can't update it on older install, and it's not changing any features or API calls, so it still works with same code when you update. v2.0 would mean it has new features or breaking API changes. This is just a "maintenance" update.

I'm using github copilot now since 6 months to do all sort of testing and playing around with various projects. It offers a lot of the different agents, but it's mainly for use with IDE like VS code. I like it a lot and am always surprized at it's capability. Claude is able to help me A LOT updating a very old big online shop to the latest PW (currently local dev only) It has access to powershell to do db stuff and it understood PW very well without much help or special skills. Tho it's great to have it specialize for PW for sure. So I can't use Claude models and some of the others with my github copilot API endpoint with AgentTools, but it allows me to use gpt-4.1 and gpt-4o for free which is cool for simple stuff like engineering and migrations. I'm testing it locally currently. I now also made an account at Antropic to use that as well in case I need it. I have a local docker environment with php, mysql and apache running in a container. Claude had to adapt the pw-at.sh script quite a bit to make it work. I have no clue about this stuff, but it's working now. Thanks very much for the AgentTools module.

Oh I didn't see that. I was gone for 7 years 😄 Thanks for the heads up.

https://processwire.com/blog/posts/multi-instance-pw3/ Not 100% sure it really matters tho you should be fine with global wire(). But Multiinstance PW installation could be an issue in some edge cases with modules that save data. Tho can't really tell for sure in detail. Maybe @ryan would have some more insight.

You posted this thuesday? Not sure what you mean been a while. Not sure about the innoDB, but I don't think it matters unless for some index stuff? Surely not related to your problem I guess. Even tho I don't know what problems you mean.

Maybe some core files are missing on the server? It can happen that uploading a complete upload to a new server misses a file or something.

I made a little update to 1.3.7, bringing it to the current PHP8+ and PW3+ standards. Changes in 1.3.7 (2026-04-22) Updated for ProcessWire 3.x and PHP 8.x compatibility Declared class properties explicitly to fix PHP 8.2 dynamic property deprecation Fixed nullable type hints on render() signature (?array, ?Page) required since PHP 8.0 Replaced global wire() calls with $this->wire() for correct PW3 multi-instance scoping Replaced new PageArray() with $this->wire(new PageArray()) for proper instance binding Replaced object identity comparisons (===) with ID-based comparisons (->id ===) for $is_current and $is_root Replaced loose null comparisons (!= null) with strict (!== null) throughout Fixed misleading single-line if/else in xtemplates block with proper braces Removed unused $v_unformatted variable in parsePlaceholders() Replaced $this->fields / $this->users magic access with $this->wire('fields') / $this->wire('users') Updated getModuleInfo(): added icon, requires (PHP>=8.0, ProcessWire>=3.0.0), updated href to https Bumped version from 1.3.6 to 1.3.7 I only tested it on a site I'm currently working on, and it still works the same. But if you encounter any issues please let me know.

There's a weird message on that module page? Anybody noticed? https://processwire.com/modules/template-preview-images/

Thanks! Yeah I had deleted my first account after I got 100k followers... don't ask why. Then on my second account @somartist2 I tried to leave 2-3 times but then reactivated the account. And finally I did it. I'm on bluesky now, and still on Instagram and other platforms. No I didn't realize, but yeah I was very active for many years answering and helping many. It's great to hear tho. 🙂 Oh @ryan, thanks for the warm welcome back. Yeah I went on a long journey, glad you been following me. Great to see you're still running this thing haha. And now even using llm's! Yeah OMG so many names that I almost forgot about. I'm an old man now hehe.

Sooo, I'm still alive and in August, I will start on a new job and project that probably brings me back to work with the cool and great Processwire. :D 7 years ago I was forced to change job and ended in a cool new place doing front-end dev not using PW anymore. So unfortunately I didn't really use or follow PW in that time except once a year doing something tiny bits on the handful of websites I am responsible for. I'm sorry if I just disappeared "over night" and maybe left some things behind I was doing for PW, and didn't spend time looking out for them. The reason is, I also was very frustrated with a lot of things with the job and life at that time and 2019 was also when I started painting again digitally, as maybe some of you know. I went full hyper focus mode, everyday almost for 2-3 years in my spare time and since then slowed down. I was able to make a small career with it, and made a lot of new connections and experiences which was awesome. I will continue to work on making art and illustrations as I have a lot of new freedom with the new job too combine a lot of my skills. Finally I can work from home full time. A little dream come true. Thanks for still being here and keeping this small but awesome community alive! I have to catch up now! :D Cheers Soma

The dev2 I made to the master couple months ago. So the new commit is just a minor addition to the url parser. I think I had difficulties with making the dev2 to master and I couldn't delete the dev2 branch. ?

I just wanted to mention. I found a new job as a front-end dev at https://backslash.ch. Since 2 months there already and enjoy it. We work with in-house CMS specially targeted to governments. So a lot less PW for me in the future, but I'll use it as my tool for private projects.

Glad you found it yourself. What's also possible is to just add a page-{name} or page-{id} to the item template and use them to style.
