  • Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property

    If you see:Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property JVM_acf_field_jvm_rich_text_icons::$settings is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/jvm-rich-text-icons/src/fields/class-jvm_acf_jvm_rich_text_icons5.php on line 55To temp-fix it, edit:/wp-content/plugins/jvm-rich-text-icons/src/fields/class-jvm_acf_jvm_rich_text_icons5.phpFind:class JVM_acf_field_jvm_rich_text_icons extends acf_field {Change it to: class JVM_acf_field_jvm_rich_text_icons extends acf_field { public $settings; // add this line The issue happens because PHP 8.2+ no longer allows creating dynamic properties on objects that don’t explicitly declare them. The plugin jvm-rich-text-icons is trying to assign a property $settings to an object that doesn’t declare it in the class. This isn’t immediately fatal, but it’s deprecated and will cause issues in future PHP versions.

  • Very handy solution

    I love this very ergonomic and very quick solution for inserting icons in buttons and titles for example. In addition, it is compatible with the site editor (FSE)

  • great gutenberg addon

    I can imagine something like this becoming part of core. Very well developed essential addon for the block editor

  • Perfect!

    Just what I was looking for – you saved me hours of work! I was just wondering why you decided to include FA4 instead of a newer version (they are also free and have a ton more icons) Still, great work

  • Working as intended

    Does what it should do, and nothing more (and that is what we want from good plugins). It comes with some filters that are handy for those who don't want to load FA assets or add BS icons or w/e.
