I saw on https://toolset.com/toolset-requirements/ that Toolset is tested up to PHP 8.1, so I updated one of my sites to 8.1.

Now I’m getting this frequent deprecated notice?

`Deprecated: preg_match(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($subject) of type string is deprecated in /home/sitename/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-views/vendor/toolset/common-es/server/Rest/Route/ShortcodeRender/WithMeta.php on line 55`

I found a support ticket from February that addressed this exact notice and said it was fixed in the latest release. https://toolset.com/forums/topic/legacy-plugin-support-for-php-8-1/

I believe I am on the latest releases: Types 3.5.3 and Views 3.6.14

Any thoughts on how to fix this notice? I am switching back to 8.0 for now.

Thanks,

Sarah

I have tested the latest versions on all my sites and updated to PHP 8.1, and the constant notices in the error logs are no longer occurring. Thanks!
