Hello all,
I have for a customer site still an old WP template and have trouble converting from PHP 7 to PHP 8.

I get the following error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function .

I was able to reduce the error to this PHP file. 

<?php
// widget extra options
global $theme_widgets_style;
$theme_widgets_style = array(
    'default' => __('sidebar default', THEME_NS),
    'block'   => __('block', THEME_NS),
    'post'    => __('post', THEME_NS),
    'simple'  => __('simple text', THEME_NS)
);

function theme_get_widget_style($id, $style = null) {

    $result = theme_get_widget_meta_option($id, 'theme_widget_styles');
    global $theme_widgets_style;
    if (!in_array($result, array_keys($theme_widgets_style))) {
        $result = 'default';
    }
    if ($style != null) {

}

// init widgets
function artWidgetsInit() {
    register_widget('VMenuWidget');
    register_widget('LoginWidget');
}

add_action('widgets_init', 'artWidgetsInit');

I suspect the error is in these lines 

function form($instance) {
        //Defaults
        $instance = wp_parse_args((array) $instance, array('title' => '', 'source' => 'Pages', 'nav_menu' => ''));
        $title = esc_attr($instance['title']);
        $source = $instance['source'];
        $nav_menu = $instance['nav_menu'];


Does anyone have a tip for me ? Or would tell me how much it costs to make it compatible?
I have searched for quite a long time, but have not found anything.

Best regards

The error is that some code is calling a function with the wrong number of arguments. The two function calls in the code you think seem to be correct.

There should have been an exact filename and line number in the error for the calling code. That will tell you where to look. Then check what function(s) it's trying to call and why it's doing so incorrectly.

Thanks for the answer.

The problem is that the constructor gives an error.

This is the whole error message.

And when I rename the PHP file I have no error anymore.

I have also found this Info https://www.php.net/manual/de/migration71.incompatible.php this was the reason for me to think the error was the line i posted.

But thank you very much.

#2 /****/****.com/rebuild.****.com/wp-content/themes/oldtheme/library/widgets.php(255): register_widget('VMenuWidget')

That code seems to be incorrect because VMenuWidget does not have a __construct which the WordPress documentation says it needs to have.

See if there's an update to whatever theme to be compatible with recent WP versions.

Yes i know. and there is no update. The widgets.php is the file i have postet the code on start of this topic.

This was the reason that i think the error is on this.

And it is only appear as soon i switch from php 7.4 to php 8
