Hello David,

first I'd like to wish you and your family a very happy new year, hope you all have a healthy, safe good 2021.

Going through some of my sites, I notice I have a lot of the following errors:

PHP Deprecated: Function get_magic_quotes_gpc() is deprecated in /home/domain-name/public_html/directory/includes/widget.php on line 351

Is there a fix for this?

All the best, Graham

Hi Graham,

Best wishes for the New Year to you too!

As the magic_quotes_gpc setting itself is deprecated if you edit includes/widget.php and look for the following code at line 351:

if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())

...and REPLACE with:

if (FALSE)

I'm preparing a maintenance release in preparation for PHP 8 so this section will be removed from the new distribution...

Cheers,
David.

Thanks, and HNY also.

Sure, any mods required for PHP 8 forward compatibility I'll be sure to document as mods to apply manually if any required.

Cheers,
David.
