 * Hi. I am getting this error on my site:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Deprecated: explode(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /home/ataaxze3098g/public_html/wp-content/themes/customizr/core/fmk-ccat.php on line 1052
       ```
   
 * Is this easy to fix? Thanks
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Linux hosting
       PHP version 8.1.22
       Apache Web server
       ```

 * I mainly use TYPO3 and installed WordPress for the first time today with the 
   theme Customizr with PHP 8.1.x and get the same error. I used ddev for this and
   the WP_DEBUG was set to “true” as default. If you set this to “false” the “deprecation”
   messages are gone. Another option is to set the PHP version to 8.0.x. Than you
   can work with WP_DEBUG = true
 * My question is, where do I get the information which PHP versions supported by
   the theme? I only found “PHP8” in the changelog. Are there other places?

 * I had the same problem. I resolved, thanks to [@fazzyx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fazzyx/),
   downgrading PHP version from 8.2 to 8.0
