PHP Deprecated notice

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client was receiving deprecated messages related to the

explode()

function when accessing the translation management section of their site.

Solution:
We recommended inserting custom PHP code into the theme's

functions.php

file to address the issue. The code provided is as follows:

add_filter( 'wpml_pb_should_handle_content', function($handle_content, $shortcode){<br />    if ( empty( $shortcode['content'] ) ) {<br />        $handle_content = false;<br />    }<br />    return $handle_content;<br />}, 10, 2);

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your case. If the issue persists, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please contact us through the WPML support forum.

Kor WPML Supporter since 08/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thank you for getting back to me. I've reviewed your website, and it appears that you've reverted the change, as the PHP deprecated notice is no longer visible. To facilitate further investigation by our 2nd Tier Support, I will remove your account from the translator section at hidden link and attempt to replicate the issue again. I'll provide you with an update once I've received feedback.
