    I just updated to PHP 8.1 and get PHP deprecated errors since:

    Deprecated: strpos(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($haystack) of type string is deprecated in wp-includes/functions.php on line 7022

Deprecated: str_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated in wp-includes/functions.php on line 2162

Deprecated: strpos(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($haystack) of type string is deprecated in wp-includes/functions.php on line 7022

Deprecated: str_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated in wp-includes/functions.php on line 2162

    These errors appears on every admin page but never on frontpages. If I deactivate OceanWP, no error anymore reported. If I downgrade PHP to 8.0, no error reported anymore.

    Could you look at what is causing the issue? Thanks!

    Hello @psykonevro,

    Thanks for reaching out and letting us know.

    We did see this happening on our end, so we’ll share this topic with the developer team, and it will be fixed/improved for the next updates.

    Note: Actually, it’s just a warning, and it does not hurt your website, but thank you for your report. This topic has been forwarded to the developer team to fix in the next updates. You can turn off your WordPress debugger to hide it: https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/#wp_debug.

    I appreciate your patience until the issues are resolved.

    Best Regards

    Hi @psykonevro,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    In regards to your report – I had the same issue but it was related to my localhost environment. A live server with the same PHP configuration didn’t throw these errors even though the PHP version was the same: 7.4.

    We tested with Laragon and PHP 8.1.8 and no similar issues, and also nothing on live sites.

    Can you please share more info about your development environment (for example, I had issues only on XAMPP), as well as the exact PHP version.

    Thank you very much for your time

    Hi @psykonevro,

    Happy New Year!

    Thanks for your patience.

    After much investigation, including fresh new installations with default themes, we came to the conclusion some of those errors come from WordPress Core.

    Example, this is on WP 6.1.1 with only the TwentyTwenty theme enabled and no actions taken:
    [25-Dec-2022 16:25:11 UTC] PHP Deprecated: stripos(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($haystack) of type string is deprecated in D:\xampp\htdocs\oceanwp_test\wp-includes\functions.wp-styles.php on line 90

    My colleague got similar ones with 6.1.1 and the latest 2023 theme, but these were about strpos() and trim().

    In regards to WP Core, PHP 8.1 and Cookie Jar errors, please see the following topic: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deprecated-return-type-of-requests_utility/

    However, there were some issues with Ocean Extra files for backwards compatibility for the old Panel (Theme Panel), and we have addressed those in the dev versions. If you can please give them a spin on a test site, that would be great:
    https://github.com/oceanwp/ocean-extra/tree/oe-2.1.0-rc
    https://github.com/oceanwp/oceanwp/tree/owp-3.4.0-rc

    As for all other issues listed above, that needs to be addressed through the Core update.

    PS You can disable the block editor through Edit Profile, Edit Forum Profile, and then check the box to disable the block editor at the bottom of the page.

    Looking forward to your feedback

    hi,

    Sorry for the delay. As I see newest releases have been pushed out, I guess it is useless I test the proposed ones.

    With the latest OceanWP on my machine, I still see the issue.

    Perhaps WP core has a similar issue, but how come that it appears only if OceanWP is active?

    Thanks in advance. And thanks for the editor block tip, didn’t know it 🙂

    Further tests, without cache and many other things.
    No, OceanWP doesn’t seem to be the culprit as I said, sorry. Seems like it is the core, as you said!
