  • Not supported for php 8.1

    Deprecated: Return type of pQuery::offsetExists($offset) should either be compatible with ArrayAccess::offsetExists(mixed $offset): bool, or the #[\ReturnTypeWillChange] attribute should be used to temporarily suppress the notice in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/rest-api-blocks/vendor/tburry/pquery/pQuery.php on line 121And more errors like that..
