    Hello,

    I found the following message appears in the UpdraftPlus log file. I think this would be solved in future, so just report as is. FYI, My server runs PHP version 8.0.28

    0003.791 (0) PHP event: code E_DEPRECATED: Function mcrypt_decrypt() is deprecated (line 105, wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/includes/Dropbox2/OAuth/Storage/Encrypter.php)

    Hi,

    Deprecated notices are for information only, and do not affect the normal operation of the backup. These are to highlight PHP code methods and features which will be removed in a future version of PHP.

    Future versions of UpdraftPlus will have updates to the code to address these deprecated notices.

    The function mcrypt_decrypt() is only used if it is present. If you remove the deprecated php-mcrypt module from your PHP install, then it won’t be used, and you then won’t see the warning that it is being used – UD will instead use an alternative.

    If present, it is used in preference to other alternatives because of how the compatibility between its output and that of alternatives works.
