Description

The Dashboard Widget "WordPress Events and News" relies on SimplePie which is not yet fully ready for PHP 8.4.

/wp-includes/SimplePie/Parser.php on line 162

triggers PHP deprecation message.

(Can be temporarily circumvented by opting out of WordPress Events and News.)

I do not think your site should have that anymore.

SimplePie removed xml_set_object() in ​https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie/pull/851

Then WordPress 6.7 updated the library to 1.8.0 (#55604).
​wp-includes/SimplePie/src/Parser.php (note src) with 6.8.2

Can't reproduce it now, must have been some odd caching issue, given that the site came from 6.6 (although I'm bewildered that it had showed up in the server logs - so it couldn't have been browser/client caching.)

Anyway, sorry for the (apparently) false alarm.

The next ticket, #63717, is about feed caching since 6.7. It might be related to that and/or #63719.
