Comment (by manhphucofficial):

 Thanks for the insightful feedback!

 Fully migrating away from MagpieRSS in favor of SimplePie would indeed be
 the ideal long-term solution, and I completely agree that the existing
 dependency on MagpieRSS should ultimately be removed.

 In the meantime, since fetch_rss() and legacy integrations still invoke
 MagpieRSS in current installations, this PHP 8 warning affects real-world
 sites today. The small change in the attached patch avoids the warning
 without altering behavior or introducing additional maintenance burden.

 The patch is intended as a safe, minimal, interim fix that prevents
 unnecessary noise in PHP logs while the broader architectural update
 (migrating to SimplePie or removing MagpieRSS) is being considered.

 Happy to adjust or refine the patch if that helps move things forward.
 Thanks again!
