antonioC-92	Background of the issue: I need to upgrade the version of PHP to 8.2 at least because some plugins stopped working. When I do that, starting with version 8.0 I get a 'critical error' only on pages with a translation. I have looked at the logs and the problem is clearly WPML which I have installed in the latest version available. The site that needs help is hidden link. Symptoms: Critical error when upgrading to PHP 8.X, specifically on pages with a translation. Questions: How can I fix the critical error that occurs with WPML when I upgrade to PHP 8.X? Are there specific WPML settings I need to change to support PHP 8.2?
