    I’ve been attempting to update to PHP 8.0 but I keep getting an error, which I’ve narrowed down to the wp-includes/init.php file – it keeps attempting to use the deprecated create_function. Since this is a core WP file and not something plugin-related, and I’m currently updated to WP 6.2.2, I’m at a loss. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hey,

    this is not a WordPress Core file but rather some malware.

    Your site has been infected. Manually cleaning a infected site takes incredible skills so its best for you to restore a backup if you have one or contact a professional.

    If you want to do it youreself:

    Carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures and start backing up your site.
