 * Hi,
   I have started seeing the following in my debug log:
 * PHP Deprecated: md5(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string 
   is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/font-awesome/includes/class-fontawesome.
   php on line 2471
 * I’m using the latest versions of the plugin and WP, and I am on PHP 8.1. Haven’t
   noticed any visible effects but thought you should know.
