DOM extension issue with Freebsd 12.1 and PHP 7.4.10

Hi, I have a FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p10 box running nginx and php 7.4.10 (both installed from pkg) for largely hosting wordpress sites (mariadb on another server), and i've just struck a rather unusual error. When trying to use a 'one click install' theme to import some templated settings, the process didnt seem to complete properly, with lots of imported settings missing. nginx's error log shows: FastCGI sent in stderr: "message: PHP Warning: DOM support is not enabled in [PATH TO SITE HERE]WXRImporter.php on line 386PHP message: PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()... However the php dom extension is installed: output of php -m: [PHP Modules] Core ctype curl date dom exif fileinfo filter ftp gd hash iconv json libxml mbstring mysqli mysqlnd openssl pcre PDO pdo_sqlite Phar posix Reflection session SimpleXML soap sockets SPL sqlite3 standard tokenizer xml xmlreader xmlrpc xmlwriter Zend OPcache zip zlib [Zend Modules] Zend OPcache I've done a fair bit of googling and most of the solutions are "make sure these packages are installed and enabled" which they appear to be. The closest thing i can find is this - https://github.com/awesomemotive/one-click-demo-import/issues/207 - which notes: This appears to be a FreeBSD specific issue. Build php74 from the ports collection, and add the following CONFIGURE_ARGS= flags: --enable-dom --enable-xmlreader Then make sure the php74-dom and php74-xmlreader packages are not installed. If they are installed as a prerequisite for another package, just remove the extension ini from /usr/local/etc/php since these extensions are now compiled in directly. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts? Removing php and recompiling from ports sounds pretty drastic... Thanks!
