 * Thanks [@dimalifragis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dimalifragis/) for
   highlighting this.
 * We will usually address deprecation messages in line with our updates to stay
   compatible with WordPress’ currently supported PHP versions, so I’ve passed this
   to the team to make sure it’s not missed.
 * If anybody else is referencing this topic, as a non-fatal error this won’t affect
   the operation of WordPress or Wordfence on your site(s) in the mean time.
 * Many thanks,
   Peter.
