Blogger Importer: Fatal constructor error in PHP8

[iandunn]

Fatal error: Declaration of WP_SimplePie_Blog_Item::get_id($hash = false) must be compatible with SimplePie_Item::get_id($hash = false, $fn = 'md5') in plugins/blogger-importer/blogger-importer-blogitem.php on line 111

Loosely related to #49143 and ​meta#5550.

open xampp\htdocs\yourprojectfolder\wp-content\plugins\blogger-importer and open blogger-importer-blogitem. edit with notepad and replace line 111 with following
"$hash = false, $fn = 'md5'"

​PR #2 in the Blogger Importer project has been created to address this issue (the PR isn't in the WordPress mirror, so doesn't show up in #section-pr on this page).

Background

SimplePie was updated to v1.5.5 in [47733] (commit ​d12ad50), where the method signature for SimplePie_Item::get_id() was changed. The reported error is caused by a non-matching signature in the extended class WP_SimplePie_Blog_Item, ​violating LSP, which in PHP 8 is fatal. Prior to PHP 8, this would only have issued a warning.

In the PR

• Updates extended class's WP_SimplePie_Blog_Item::get_id() to match the ​corresponding SimplePie v1.5 update to get_id($hash = false, $fn = 'md5').

This is also reported/being tracked in ​https://github.com/WordPress/blogger-importer/issues/1.

[ironprogrammer]

This issue has been ​addressed in PR #2 and ​committed upstream.

In ​8c7fef2:

• Update signature for get_id method.
