When i update my sage9 installation to php8.1 using this article: [Is there a way to use Sage 9 with PHP 8.1? - #2 by evance](https://discourse.roots.io/t/is-there-a-way-to-use-sage-9-with-php-8-1/24435/2) my sage directives stop working.

Is there a workaround for this?

Could you specify on what sage directives you are using? Code examples?

Thanks for the reply!  
This is my composer.json:

```

Do you get an error of some sort running `composer update` in your theme folder with this setup?

What do you refer to when saying

> my sage directives stop working

? Any errors here?

Please post them.

Also: As you are not using `log1x/blade-svg-sage` then you might have to explicitely `composer require illuminate/support`.

It doesnt compile anymore in the uploads/cache files, so it for example shows @field(‘test’) instead of the compiled PHP

Maybe check if ACF is activated? Judging by [the docs](https://log1x.github.io/sage-directives-docs/usage/acf.html#field) this could well be the explanation (no error thrown, `@field` showing in cache files)…?

_The following directives are for use with Advanced Custom Fields. If ACF is not installed and activated, they will not be initialized._

Otherwise I am clueluess and cannot offer any more help, sorry…

@Erwin_Wijnveld_BOOOM were you able to find a solution here?

I have a similar problem, soberwp/controller stopped working.
