Tell us what you are trying to do?

Minesh supported this case for part 1, now I open a new ticket for part 2.

When looking at the website with PHP 8.1 and with debugging option showing remarks in the display, I found a lot of remarks concerning 'depreciated functions' in types or Toolset respectively. You find in the following the links and the debugging comments:

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

I looked at the code in withmeta.php:

public function wpv_content_template_meta() {
if( preg_match( '#view_template=[\"\'](.*?)[\"\']#', $this->shortcode, $ct ) ) {
if( $post = get_page_by_path( $ct[1], OBJECT, 'view-template' ) ) {
$this->meta_data['post_title'] = $post->post_title;
$this->meta_data['post_edit_link'] = admin_url( 'admin.php?page=ct-editor&ct_id=' . $post->ID );
}

So in all cases, the error messages are repeated as much as the number of single posts is. Am I using deprecated functions? I looked at shortcodes and dynamic sources, but could not find something wrong.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Toolset documentation.

I would prefer to get support from Minesh, because he has already the credentials to login on our website.

Unfortunately - I could not able to login to the admin using the admin access details you shared.

Can you please send me working admin access details.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

I've escalated the issue about deprecated notices with PHP 8.1 to our next level support.

Please hold on for further updates. Please note that there is no ETA when the fix is officially publish for this issue.

Hi Minesh,

many thanks for your support. Will I be informed automatically, when an optimization has been implemented?

Kind regards

Franz

In addition to that the notice on the following page:

Deprecated: preg_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array\|string is deprecated in /home/franzgas/www/rechtskonform.ch/wp-content/plugins/toolset-blocks/vendor/toolset/toolset-common/inc/autoloaded/date_utils.php on line 286

The above notice comes about because of a problem in your site, in the output of the View on the referenced page, a custom field is output via types shortcode and it includes a typo for the "format" attribute. Please check the following screenshot.

Please adjust the format attribute name correctly.
