 * Hello there,
 * I installed **[Classic Widgets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/)**
   and when I added RSS widget to Primary Sidebar, the PHP warnings apeared:
 * 1 PHP Deprecated html_entity_decode(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string)
   of type string is deprecated in mywebsite\wp-includes\widgets.php on line 1638
   
   2 PHP Deprecated html_entity_decode(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string)
   of type string is deprecated in mywebsite\wp-includes\widgets\class-wp-widget-
   rss.php on line 72
 * My website is running under PHP 8.1.31 with newest version of wordpress, and 
   under PHP 8.2.27, same issue, but under PHP 8.0.30, no issue, all work fine.
 * Please look into it, thanks!
