    Hey, @loorlab.

    Glad you reached out about this, I can help explain what you are seeing. Deprecation notices like the ones you are seeing are just a “heads up” notice for developers to fix or update something for a future release. These notices are different from error messages. Error messages would mean something is broken, where a notice is just information-sharing. The good news here is that nothing is broken on the site, we just need to turn off those deprecation messages for you.

    We are keeping an eye on these notices here: https://feedback.givewp.com/bug-reports/p/givewp-throws-several-deprecation-notices-in-php8. You can use this post to check in for updates, or to provide any details you would like for our teams to have as they investigate a fix. I’ve linked your ticket to that post so we can reach back out with an update for you.

    In the meantime, I have a couple of solutions to turn off those notices:

    1. Roll back your PHP version to 7.4. Those notices pop up when folks are using PHP version 8.0. Rolling back won’t cause any harm to your site, and it is a quick way to eliminate those notices.

    2. You can also eliminate those messages by turning off the debug display.

    If you’re not familiar with WP_DEBUG, you need to edit your wp-config.php file:
    // Turn debugging on
    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

    // Tell WordPress to log everything to /wp-content/debug.log
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);

    // Turn off the display of error messages on your site
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);

    That wp-config.php file is an important piece of information to have!

    You can also choose to just leave those messages in place. They aren’t an indication of any trouble, and if you’d rather just leave them be that is perfectly fine!

    Let me know if you have any questions about this along the way, I’m happy to help.
