 * My error log is quickly filling with these entires:
 *     ```
       [10-May-2021 17:19:42 UTC] PHP Warning:  Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /home/recipes2u/public_html/wp-content/plugins/molongui-authorship/fw/includes/fw-helper-functions.php on line 798
       ```
   
 * Any visitor to a page with an author panel triggers a ton of instances of this
   to show up, especially with multiple authors in place. I didn’t notice huge amounts
   of these errors before upgrading to PHP8, so I’m guessing it is something to 
   do with that.
 * Front end functionality seems to be the same and working.
