Wordpress 6.8 Problem???

[rspatterson]

Just a heads up. I upgraded to WordPress 6.8 and noticed that FeedWordPress suddenly stopped updating, and that started seeing messages about a "Critical issue" ... not sure yet if this is a problem with FeedWordpress 2024.1119 conflict with WP 6.8, but noted last posts are dated April 18, 2025, about when apparently the April 15, 2025 WP 6.8 release would have updated ChronLaw.com WP version.

[Update} Looks like the problem is more likely related to PHP 8.3 being a little more strict than older versions. Now getting the following debug error messages:

Updating . . . Deprecated: strlen(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/syndicatedlink.class.php on line 873 completed in 2 seconds
Deprecated: trim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/feedwordpress.php on line 2106

Also get this message:

Updating . . . Deprecated: strlen(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/syndicatedlink.class.php on line 873 Deprecated: Implicit conversion from float 18.666666666666668 to int loses precision in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/syndicatedlink.class.php on line 378 Deprecated: trim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/feedwordpress.php on line 1791 completed in 2 seconds

All updates are followed by this message:

Update complete. 0 new posts were syndicated

Deprecated: preg_replace(): Passing null to parameter #3 ($subject) of type array|string is deprecated in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/feedwordpress/feedwordpresssyndicationpage.class.php on line 111

Hope this is helpful.
