I have installed all latest Toolset versions of Types, Forms, Views, Layouts, Access, and Twentyseventeen integration as of 3 Nov 2026 on my site and have upgraded to WP7.1.4 to and PHP8.5.
All works fine, but the logs give me many PHP depreciation notices related to the Toolset plugins. I thought you might find them useful, so I am listing them below for your information.
Thanks!

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support. Thank you for th elist

These are deprecation notices, not errors. Nothing breaks, and they only appear with WP_DEBUG logging on. You can keep working as normal.

Status on our side:

- Views: the two `WPV_Content_Template_Embedded` notices are already fixed and will go out in the next release.
- Forms: the `OTGS_UI_Loader`, `PostSearch` and `MobileDetect` ones are fixed in the shared libraries. The `Form_Builder_Helper` casts and the two `utils.php` lines are in an open ticket for Forms.
- Access: the five notices are in an open ticket and will be handled by our dev team.

If you want the log quieter while this is in progress, set `WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY` to false and keep `WP_DEBUG_LOG` on, or drop the log level so notices are not written.

Thanks.
