 * Hello,
 * I shall let you know that current version of your plugin uses at least one deprecated
   function in PHP 8.2 and 8.3.
 * Visiting plugins page (/wp-admin/plugins.php) with WP Query Monitor extension
   enabled, shows the following error:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Deprecated Message:
       ltrim(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated
   
       Location:
       wp-includes/formatting.php:4494
       ltrim()
       wp-includes/formatting.php:4494
       esc_url()
       wp-content/plugins/og/includes/iworks/rate/rate.php:119
       iworks_rate->add_donate_link()
       wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:324
       apply_filters('plugin_action_links_og/og.php')
       wp-admin/includes/class-wp-plugins-list-table.php:985
       WP_Plugins_List_Table->single_row()
       wp-admin/includes/class-wp-plugins-list-table.php:706
       WP_Plugins_List_Table->display_rows()
       wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php:1709
       WP_List_Table->display_rows_or_placeholder()
       wp-admin/includes/class-wp-list-table.php:1636
       WP_List_Table->display()
       wp-admin/plugins.php:796
   
       Plugin: og
       ```
   
 * In order to avoid getting such error, and to prepare for future PHP versions,
   it would be a great thing to adapt the code in order to fit newer PHP versions.
 * Best regards

 * Thanks [@iworks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iworks/) 🙂
 * You have time as it’s only deprecated functions for now. But a quick fix would
   still be much appreciated for reasons you can imagine (warnings may be be worrying
   and may consume time checking if they’re important).
 * All the best
