 In PHP 7+, the function **set_magic_quotes_runtime** has been removed. But
 the file **wp-content/plugins/rss-importer/rss-importer.php:72** is still
 using it which blocks importing posts by throwing undefined function error
 while using the RSS import feature in [https://wordpress.org/plugins/rss-
 importer]

 WordPress Version: 5.7.2
 PHP Version: 8.0.7

 I couldn't find the plugin in
 [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/newticket] and the plugin is part of
 Import > Tool in WordPress so reporting here.
