@mzur After some years, discovering that parts of a site I’d built for a client were no longer operating — including its forms — I have learnt how important it is to monitor PHP versions and keep Kirby up to date.
So I’ve bitten the bullet and finally got around to upgrading the site from Kirby 2 to Kirby 3, to future proof it a little more as PHP 7.4 gets phased out.
All seems to be working again, after lots of fiddling — except one thing.
I worked through the upgrade process for Uniform. But with the Uniform plugin present, the site vanishes. Blank screen, no content.
I see that others posting here have had success in fixing a similar issue by upgrading their PHP version. But this is happening under PHP 8.1 and 8.0, and this is what I am aiming to use.
Is Uniform v4 for Kirby 3 compatible with PHP 8/8.1? Or is there something else I should look for?
I’m sorry, it’s the latest version of Uniform. I did try to find the version number, or any documentation that mentioned a v5, but couldn’t find it, so I assumed I was still using v4.
Update on this. I’ve installed the site locally, with PHP 8.1 running, and managed to get some error messages. (On a remote dev site, nothing is reported.)
Here’s what I get:

The error you have shown seems to be an issue with Uniform. It’s because Kirby plugins should support the installation via ZIP and but I prefer the installation via Composer. Supporting both sometimes produces errors like yours because I didn’t “package” the Composer dependencies correctly in the ZIP. I’ll look into it.
In the Upgrade Guide section of this, it refers to the way v.3 worked vs v.4. So I thought I must be using v.4. So there are no differences in syntax for v.5?
