 * Dear All. Good night. I comply with informing you that, according to my error
   log, your plugin is generating the following errors (_) (_) Note I: For obvious
   security reasons, I changed my username and the name of my site to, myuser/mysite,
   heh.
 * [25-Jan-2023 20:02:27 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Automatic conversion of false to array
   is deprecated in /home/myuser/mysite/wp-count
   nt/plugins/w3-total-cache/lib/Minify/
   Minify/Cache/File.php on line 164
 * (*) Note II: I spoke of “errors” (in the plural) because, strictly speaking, 
   in my error log it is repeated several times. But, frankly, it’s the SAME one
   that, for some strange reason I don’t know, appears 3 (three) times. Anyway.
 * One way or another, according to my hosting, both this error and some others (
   that have nothing to do with your plugin), are responsible for…
   …”having tons
   of plugins will slow down your website”…
 * So please, could you send me a solution as soon as possible?
 * From already thank you very much.
 * Regards.

 * Hello [@atutrabajo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atutrabajo/)
 * Thank you for your feedback. Let me see if there are indeed any depreciations
   and make some tests and I’ll get back to you.

 * Thanks Mark.
 * I await your comments.
 * Regards.
 * P.d: I will never get tired of pointing out that you are one of the (few) plugin
   developers who attend in a timely manner (as befits, heh). For that, again, thank
   you.

 * Hello [@atutrabajo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atutrabajo/)
 * Thank you for your patience. I am still trying to replicate this. Pleas let me
   know if you have recently upgraded the PHP version and what was the previous 
   version you were using.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello Marko. No problem. No. Not so recently. The truth is that I dont remember.
   But what is certain is that it was a while ago.
 * The “problem” is that, surely you need to know if it was before or after a certain
   update of your plugin, right?
 * Well. If that’s it, I don’t know how to answer you.
 * In the meantime, I await your comments.
 * See ya.

 * Hello. Me again, heh. I have a good and a bad one for you:
   The good news, I already“
   discovered” (I think) where the problem is.The bad, I have no fucking idea if
   this is good or bad, heh.I explain:In my “zeal” (someone would say obsession,
   heh:), to optimize my site, I had read (among the thousands of things I read 
   because I understand NOTHING about this, heh), that it could be added to my function.
   php some codes like these;[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JSN-qFmgzAwV2B5AYdmQHUd7gNXfGng5/edit?usp=share_link&ouid=102851233358919075037&rtpof=true&sd=true](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JSN-qFmgzAwV2B5AYdmQHUd7gNXfGng5/edit?usp=share_link&ouid=102851233358919075037&rtpof=true&sd=true)
   As you can see, there are (were) about 26(twenty-six) optimizations. And I say
   there was because, if you look (OK) there are codes that are NO longer there 
   and, in the same line is why (_) (_) If you notice ALL the codes, they are headed(
   commented) with an explanatory line that starts with the // plus an order number.
   For some strange reason that I don’t know, suddenly, the site began to have a
   series of “strange” behaviors and, when I consulted with my hosting, they “thrown”
   me (among others), the error that your plugin generated (And it gave rise to 
   to this ticket).Of course, I sent ALL the developers of the “compromised” plugins
   lines like the ones I sent you, and while I waited for your responses, I continued
   to investigate what was going on.One of the things I tried, obviously, was to
   replace the theme that’s in use and soooo! The error “disappeared”.Ergo. As said
   theme (Hello Elementor Child) has been installed for a while and, it was the 
   1st. Every time I had this problem, the “logic” indicated that the problem was
   NOT the theme, but what it contained.And as precisely, the detailed functions
   are installed in the function.php of said child theme, I tried, reactivating 
   the child theme but removing said functions and soooo! The error disappeared.
   Conclusion (Not to make it longer, heh).One (or several) of those functions, 
   were generating the error(s) that my hosting attributed to those error codes 
   that I sent to the plugin developers (like you, heh).Ergo. Since I didn’t know
   which one of those function(s) it was, I started to;a) Install each feature (
   One at a time)b) Test the ENTIRE sitec) Verify if the error(s) reappeared.Now
   to finish. Until now the errors that (supposedly) your plugin generated did NOT
   appear again. But…Until yesterday, I had tried with (almost) half of the functions,
   so I had to sleep, heh.In fact, if you look (well) at the list, you will see 
   that almost halfway there is a line that says…Until here (Day I)Well. That’s 
   because, precisely, I got there with the tests, heh.In short, if I were you, 
   I would do the following;1) I would see if, in the list of optimizations that
   I attached, there are some/s that can generate a behavior of your plugin like
   the one described in the error that appears.2) If so, I would reconsider the 
   instructions you sent me for your codeO well. If you think that all this that
   I described has nothing to do…3) You reiterate to me what you want me to do.I
   await your comments.Regards.PS I: As I said. The problem with your plugin is 
   NO LONGER. But…As I still need to install, test and verify the optimizations 
   below the line in question, tomorrow I will tell you how it went, do you think?
   For now, that’s all from me.You (who surely know more about programming than 
   I do) for your part, if you wish, can analyze the optimizations in question. 
   And, if you see something that helps me not to continue analyzing one by one,
   let me know, okay?P.d II: And if after analyzing all this, you still think that
   the changes you mentioned in your code should be made, let me know. Dale?P.d 
   III: It was (too) late for me here. Ergo, I’m going to sleep because tomorrow
   my son comes to visit me. And, precisely for this reason, tomorrow (nor) will
   I be able to do the tests that I need (_) (_) Unless I do them when my son falls
   asleep or when he leaves, heh.Therefore, if you wish, you have at least (almost)
   all day tomorrow to tell me if any of the optimizations that I need to (re)test(
   since 15), have (or could have) something to do with the problem that gave rise
   to this thread.See ya.

 * Hello Marko. No problem. Anyway, I still have my visitor and like it or not, 
   he needs my attention, heh.
   Ergo, until now, I could NOT continue testing (checking)
   with the optimizations below the indicated line. That is, from the one marked
   as 15) onwards. Well, if you have any news, let me know.For my part, only tomorrow(
   I think, heh:) will I be able to resume my tests.See ya.
