My hosting uses PHP 8.4. I have WP 6.9.4 and latest (which is old) of bbPress.

I’ve getting the deprecated uses_utf8 message (needs to be wp_is_valid_utf8).

I fixed it, but I don’t think users should have to do that just because hosts are using new versions of PHP, and that WP 7 is just around the corner.

Don’t know what other archaic code is in ppbress, but PLEASE fix at least this one.

Just change it to wp_is_valid_utf8 that will make the warning message go away.
