 * If this is on purpose – that’s the worst decision one could take and the implementation(
   updates w/o any check of the environment) is [censored].
 * If this is a beginner programmer mess and he thinks there is just PHP8 out there,
   you better fire him.
    And fix that ASAP.
 * Besides the other reported code snippets, here is one more error (when accessing
   the admin panel):
    PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function
   str_contains()
 * str_contains() is introduced in PHP8!!!

 * It’s a sad day for Ninja Forms. Not sure what is going on there, but they have
   really declined in quality. They use to be my “go to” form builder, but now it
   is just buggy and full of errors. Sad.
