 * Running Wordfence 8.2.2 on WordPress 7.0.3. We’re seeing this deprecation notice
   publicly on our front-end pages and login screen (rather than being suppressed):
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Deprecated: preg_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/wordfence/vendor/wordfence/wf-waf/src/lib/rules.php on line 1896
       ```
   
 * Is there likely to be a new update?

 * Completely agree. Unfortunately, several aspects of the plugin do not appear 
   to be functioning correctly, and our clients are also experiencing difficulties
   accessing and logging into their accounts. We have a premium license, and concerned
   that this issue may not be resolved until Monday. This means we will have experienced
   an entire weekend of service disruption, affecting our operations and potential
   loss of business.

 * Hi [@xpress1234](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xpress1234/) and all,
 * Thanks for reaching out to us. We’re investigating this issue.
 * In the meantime, you may need to disable display_errors; a deprecation message
   normally shouldn’t cause significant errors in the site’s functionality otherwise.
