    Hello.

    Thank you.

    Hi @salihbora, thanks for getting in touch about this.

    As a plugin for WordPress, Wordfence mainly adheres to the compatibility of core itself. As you can see in the following link, the most up-to-date version of WordPress is fully compatible with PHP 8.3 but only offers “Beta support” for 8.4+: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/

    I expect you may now be using PHP 8.5 to have started seeing these messages. We always work on providing full compatibility for a PHP version when WordPress does. We have the Non-canonical cast... in a development case to address in an upcoming release. As deprecation notices are non-fatal, then you don’t need to take action and they’ll disappear when we address them.

    Some other plugins and themes may have compatibility issues with PHP 8.4+, but those will depend on which ones you’re using.

    Many thanks,
    Peter.
