I have several issues on the backend; e.g. not able to save an edited page where toolset blocks are used.
I get error messages in the WP debug log file:

Hi,

The PHP deprecation messages that you shared mean that in future releases of PHP those functions might not work, but the current version that you use has no issues.

That should not be the source of the issue.

I suggest first that you check the minimal installation and see if the same problem happens:

- IMPORTANT STEP! Create a backup of your website. Or better approach will be to test this on a copy/staging version of the website to avoid any disruption of a live website.
- Switch to the default theme such as "TwentyTwenty" by going to "WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > themes".
- Go to "WordPress Dashboard > Plugins" and deactivate all plugins except Toolset and Toolset add-ons.
- Check if you can still recreate the issue.
- If not, re-activate your plugins one by one and check the issue each time to find out the plugin that causes the problem.

If the problem persists, please tell us the steps and URL to check the problem.

Thank you.
