Hi @sonicavatar
The release of PHP 8.2 is still very new – according to this article, it became available on December 8th, 2022:https://ithemes.com/blog/php-8-2/
Because of this, most plugins are not yet fully compatible with 8.2. Updating to meet the new standards while maintaining as much backward compatibility as possible can be a challenge that takes time to resolve.
The same article explains that ” You may see a lot of deprecated function notices, which aren’t errors — yet.” So there is no need for concern in the short term. These depreciation notices warn developers than functions they currently use will likely produce fatal errors in PHP 9, and give advance warning to make sure everyone has time to make the required updates.
For now it is perfectly safe to ignore depreciation notices, and please be assured that our developers will have 8.2 compatibility in place well in advance of any deadline.
Best,
Nathanael
