 * Hello, we are receiving the following error when testing PHP 8.0. Any ideas as
   to the cause? It sort of appears to be coming from hello elementor parent theme.
   We do have a hello elementor child theme set up, but the stack trace is not mentioning
   it. Core, plugins and themes are all fully updated.
 * PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: call_user_func_array(): Argument #1 ($callback)
   must be a valid callback, class Base_Header_Widget does not have a method \”widget_scripts\”
   in /nas/content/live/sitename/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php:307
