 * Hi.
 * Several of those with PHP 8.1:
 * [06-Jul-2023 18:58:41 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Return type of Twig\Markup::count()
   should either be compatible with Countable::count(): int, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange]
   attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in /home/wp-content/
   plugins/wp-simple-firewall/src/lib/vendor/twig/twig/src/Markup.php on line 38
 * [06-Jul-2023 18:58:13 UTC] PHP Deprecated: mb_strpos(): Passing null to parameter#
   1 ($haystack) of type string is deprecated in /home/wp-content/plugins/wp-simple-
   firewall/src/lib/vendor/fernleafsystems/zxcvbn-php/src/Matchers/SpatialMatch.
   php on line 184
 * Thanks

 * Hi, 
   Thanks for sharing this with us.The messages that start with this:**_Deprecated:
   Return type of_**These aren’t errors. They’re deprecation notices. You probably
   shouldn’t be logging these on a production site. They’re not a problem and they
   don’t cause other errors. You can ignore these completely.Shield has some PHP
   libraries that give deprecation notices because we have to support PHP  7.2.5
   +. However, these deprecations will be removed in our next release.

 * Hi, i never wrote that those are errors. I know what they are.
 * I always enable debug to a log for 48 hours when i do some major updates or upgrading
   PHP versions.
 * Thanks

 * [@dimalifragis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimalifragis/) there was 
   no statement either way about you wrote or what you know. We stated they weren’t
   errors. Since this is a public forums, and our discussion is viewed by folk with
   varying levels of technical ability and experience, we don’t make any assumption
   about what you or anyone else “knows”.
