Hello,
I’m running into a lot of deprecation warnings when updating to PHP 8.03:
```
Use of "parent" in callables is deprecated
```
This has first been reported by a user here 20 months ago. Link to page

An extremely simple fix has been posted here: Link to page

Are you planning to update the plugin with this fix?

Also, there is a second deprecation warning:
Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /simple-lightbox/includes/class.utilities.php on line 545

Perhaps that can be fixed too?
Thanks for your help!

Same issue here, please rectify ASAP. It produces 56 depreciated msgs on every page of my site meaning I can’t test it with debug enabled!

Same here, I get 28 depreciated notices for every page load.

27 are from /simple-lightbox/includes/class.options.php on line 501
1 is from /simple-lightbox/includes/class.utilities.php on line 545

Seems like it could be a relatively simple fix.

It’s a free plugin and I appreciate the work that went into it.

Same problems here. A lot of deprecation log lines… Please at least give an update on this issue, and have you considered allowing other people to commit? I would love to fix those errors.
