Please fix compatibility with PHP 8.1

We will look into this, thank you.

Hi @therealgilles. This is a known issue with v1 of the core Rollbar PHP library. I believe this was resolved in v3.1. We just released v4 beta of the core library. Once the stable version is out, I should be able to rewrite the WP plugin and drop a new major version of the plugin.

I am curious do you install the Rollbar WP plugin with the plugin manager or composer?

[therealgilles]

I use composer. The v4 beta does not seem to include the Rollbar WP plugin, it only includes the PHP library. Am I wrong?
The issues are in the Rollbar WP plugin.

[danielmorell]

Sorry for the late reply to your question. The issue was in the core PHP library. But we want to update the plugin to use the latest v4.

[oohnoitz]

Since v4 of the core library has been released, are there still any plans to update this plugin?

[anthropos9]

Has there been any update to this issue? I'd like to update a site to PHP 8.1, but can't until this is resolved. Thanks.

@danielmorell Would you please fix these deprecation warnings and release a new version, preferably via the official WordPress plugin site, too?

Debugging WordPress is harder when the log is full of these warnings.

We actually have some new energy to help on our wordpress and will plan some clean up. We'll do our best to get this shored up. I've added this to their roadmap.

Appreciate the patience and apologies for the noise in your logs.
