This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is preparing old sites for PHP 8.2 and has encountered PHP deprecations with WPML Sticky Links and CMS Navigation plugins. They are inquiring about the relevance of their current WPML plugins and whether updates for PHP 8.2 compatibility can be expected for the plugins with deprecations.
Solution:
We have confirmed that the core WPML plugins are compatible with PHP 8.1, and while compatibility with PHP 8.2 is planned, it is not yet available as WordPress itself is not fully compatible with PHP 8.2. We have an internal ticket for updating the Sticky Links and CMS Nav plugins for PHP 8.x compatibility, which is scheduled to be part of the WPML 4.7 development cycle. However, we cannot provide an exact timeline for this.
Both Sticky Links and CMS Navigation plugins are optional but may be relevant depending on the client's needs. We recommend reviewing the plugins' features to determine their necessity:
If you do not frequently change permalink structures you might manage without Sticky Links, as WPML already handles translating links.
