Hi! The plugin is causing lots of deprecation warnings with PHP v8.4 due to: https://php.watch/versions/8.4/implicitly-marking-parameter-type-nullable-deprecated Please review and update the codebase! Thanks for reporting this! The current codebase still targets PHP 7.2, so making it fully compatible with both 7.2 and 8.4 would require quite a bit of work. We’re currently working on a new major release that bumps the minimum PHP version to 7.4 and addresses the deprecation warnings for PHP 8.4 as well. This release is planned for the end of the year.
