 * Hey, [@loorlab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/loorlab/).
 * Glad you reached out about this, I can help explain what you are seeing. Deprecation
   notices like the ones you are seeing are just a “heads up” notice for developers
   to fix or update something for a future release. These notices are different 
   from error messages. Error messages would mean something is broken, where a notice
   is just information-sharing. The good news here is that nothing is broken on 
   the site, we just need to turn off those deprecation messages for you.
 * We are keeping an eye on these notices here: [https://feedback.givewp.com/bug-reports/p/givewp-throws-several-deprecation-notices-in-php8](https://feedback.givewp.com/bug-reports/p/givewp-throws-several-deprecation-notices-in-php8).
   You can use this post to check in for updates, or to provide any details you 
   would like for our teams to have as they investigate a fix. I’ve linked your 
   ticket to that post so we can reach back out with an update for you.
 * In the meantime, I have a couple of solutions to turn off those notices:
 * 1. Roll back your PHP version to 7.4. Those notices pop up when folks are using
   PHP version 8.0. Rolling back won’t cause any harm to your site, and it is a 
   quick way to eliminate those notices.
 * 2. You can also eliminate those messages by turning off the debug display.
 * If you’re not familiar with WP_DEBUG, you need to edit your wp-config.php file:
   //
   Turn debugging on define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
 * // Tell WordPress to log everything to /wp-content/debug.log
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’,
   true);
 * // Turn off the display of error messages on your site
    define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’,
   false);
 * That wp-config.php file is an important piece of information to have!
 * You can also choose to just leave those messages in place. They aren’t an indication
   of any trouble, and if you’d rather just leave them be that is perfectly fine!
 * Let me know if you have any questions about this along the way, I’m happy to 
   help.
