# PHP Deprecated

 * Hi [@dartiss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dartiss/), I’ve read your note
   about your dismission of this plugin, but I’m reporting this just in case it’s
   quick to fix.
 * It seems that everything works just fine, but I’ve had error 503 displayed for
   hours, and in the debug file I found this php error (which I don’t think is the
   cause).
 * This plugin is essential to me, I use it in every article and if it were to fail
   it would be a huge problem. Unfortunately I haven’t found anything that can replace
   it.
 * Thank you for everything still.

 * Which version of PHP are you using?

 * That’s what I thought – I haven’t (and probably won’t) added support for PHP 
   8.2.

 * I see. Even though I’m not too familiar with php I can still try to fix that 
   line myself, maybe with some external help, assuming it’s the only problem. Unless
   you think the difference between php 8 and 7 is too big and doing this would 
   just break the plugin further.

 * It may not even be that. I test my plugins on 8.1, so it may just be the difference
   between that and 8.2
 * Can you provide me with the full error that you’re seeing and I’ll see if the
   issue is anything obvious? Bear in mind, though, that this is informational and
   not an actual error.

 * The notice is repeated several times, but it is always the same:
 * PHP Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property swas_wp_footnotes::$styles is deprecated
   in /var/www/vhosts/bluesreviews.it/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/footnotes-made-
   easy/footnotes-made-easy.php on line 40
 * Now that the 503 is gone, I can confirm that everything works fine, backend and
   frontend, without visible errors. Actually, I think that the issue has been there
   for some time but I saw it only yesterday because I turned on debug file while
   I had the 503 error.

 * I thought I recognised this – it was mentioned to me last month… [https://github.com/dartiss/footnotes-made-easy/issues/54](https://github.com/dartiss/footnotes-made-easy/issues/54)
 * It won’t be an issue until PHP 9.
