desireeM	Background of the issue: PHP 8.3 Warning: Undefined array key "REQUEST_METHOD" sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Shared/st/class-wpml-pb-integration.php in line 170 <code>if ( ! in_array( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'], [ 'POST', 'PUT', 'PATCH' ], true ) ) {</code> Seems to happen if this is somehow called in a CLI request. Fix is simple: <code>if ( ! isset( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) \|\| ! in_array( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'], [ 'POST', 'PUT', 'PATCH' ], true ) ) {</code> Symptoms: Warning: Undefined array key "REQUEST_METHOD". I expected to see no PHP Warning, but instead, I got a PHP warning. Questions: Fix your code

desireeM	Call that function in a PHP CLI request and you'll get that error.

Andrey WPML Supporter since 06/2013 Languages: English (English ) Russian (Русский ) Timezone: Europe/Kyiv (GMT+03:00)	Thank you for your feedback. I am receiving mixed results. Can you show me exactly how you called it? Or could you elaborate a bit more so I can replicate it?

desireeM	>Can you show me exactly how you called it? Or could you elaborate a bit more so I can replicate it? What about >Call that function in a PHP CLI request and you'll get that error. is unclear? I already provided the fix for you even. Sorry, but you're providing the software not me. I expect a minimum knowledge of PHP at least, bc this is wasting my time.
