Noticed the other day that I am getting PHP deprecation errors in my wpforms-lite. I used the forms with elementor to create my contact page. Also, for some reason there are two email fields on my contact page that I did not put there. Any suggestions on how to correct this would be most appreciated. * Below are the the error info. Thank you * Message: Creation of dynamic property FS_Site::$charset is deprecated * Location: 1. wp-includes/functions.php:650 2. `WPForms\ErrorHandler->fallback_error_handler()` wp-content/plugins/wpforms- lite/src/ErrorHandler.php:269 3. `WPForms\ErrorHandler->error_handler()` wp-content/plugins/wpforms-lite/src/ ErrorHandler.php:269 4. `WPForms\ErrorHandler->fallback_error_handler()` wp-content/plugins/wpforms- lite/src/ErrorHandler.php:269 5. `WPForms\ErrorHandler->error_handler()` wp-content/plugins/wpforms-lite/src/ ErrorHandler.php:269 6. `unserialize()` wp-includes/functions.php:650 7. `maybe_unserialize()` wp-includes/option.php:247 8. `get_option()` wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/freemius/includes/managers/ class-fs-option-manager.php:173 9. `FS_Option_Manager->load()` wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/freemius/ includes/managers/class-fs-option-manager.php:98 10. `FS_Option_Manager->__construct()` wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/ freemius/includes/managers/class-fs-option-manager.php:134 11. `FS_Option_Manager::get_manager()` wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/ freemius/includes/class-fs-options.php:90 12. `FS_Options->__construct()` wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/freemius/ includes/class-fs-options.php:68 13. `FS_Options::instance()` wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/freemius/includes/ class-freemius.php:3431 14. `Freemius::_load_required_static()` wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/ freemius/includes/class-freemius.php:2849 15. `Freemius::instance()` wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/includes/freemius/start. php:615 16. `fs_dynamic_init()` wp-content/themes/oceanwp/functions.php:1164 17. `owp_fs()` wp-content/themes/oceanwp/functions.php:1192 * Count: 5 * Plugin: wpforms-liteTotal: 5 / 5 - This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by [Becky](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artistnamedbec/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-deprecation-errors%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * Plugin Support [Ralden Souza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rsouzaam/) * (@rsouzaam) * [1 year, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-deprecation-errors/#post-18408403) * Hi [@artistnamedbec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artistnamedbec/), * Thanks for reaching out! * You mentioned that all your plugins and WordPress are up-to-date. That’s great! * However, the errors you’re seeing seem to be originating from the Ocean Extra plugin (`wp-content/plugins/ocean-extra/`) and the OceanWP theme (`wp-content/ themes/oceanwp/`). It appears WPForms’ error handler is catching these errors, even though they’re not directly related to WPForms itself. * I recommend contacting the support team for the OceanWP theme and the Ocean Extra plugin. They’re the best resource for resolving errors within their own code. Providing them with the specific error messages you’re seeing will help them diagnose and fix the problem. * If you’d like to temporarily disable WPForms’ error handler (which is catching and reporting these external errors), you can add the following constant to your` wp-config.php` file: * ```wp-block-code define( 'WPFORMS_DISABLE_ERROR_HANDLER', true ); ``` * This will prevent WPForms from reporting the deprecation errors. Here’s a [helpful guide from WPBeginner](https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-edit-wp-config-php-file-in-wordpress/) on how to edit your `wp-config.php` file. * If you have any additional questions, please feel welcome to let me know. * Thanks! * Plugin Support [Ralden Souza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rsouzaam/) * (@rsouzaam) * [1 year, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-deprecation-errors/#post-18412334) * Hi [@artistnamedbec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artistnamedbec/), * We haven’t heard back from you in a few days, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now.
