 * Hi,
 * my debog.log shows many lines of the error:
 * PHP Deprecated: Function utf8_decode() is deprecated in /wp-content/languages/
   de_DE.php on line 93
 * I’m using PHP 8.2, and as far as i know utf8_encode is deprecated since PHP 8.2.0(
   launched December 2022) and will be removed in PHP 9.
 * Has anyone a solution?
