 * I am getting the following notice in the log:
 * `PHP Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/broken-link-checker/modules/checkers/http.php on line 147`
 * PHP also discouraged the usage of this function, `https://www.php.net/manual/
   en/function.create-function.php`
 * Will this be addressed in a future version?
