PHP 8.1 Compatibility Fix for Wordpress Site
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need your technical assistance to fix a compatibility issue on my website ict-4-you.com (specifically the WordPress installation in the /co/ folder).
The server is being upgraded to PHP 8.1, but the current theme (Start Hub Child) and some plugins are causing a critical error and breaking the layout because of legacy code.
Key points for the fix:
Deprecated Functions: The error logs and compatibility reports show that includes/template-functions.php is still using old mysql_ functions (which were removed in PHP 7.0+). These need to be updated to mysqli or PDO.

Aklare Slider: This plugin is also causing conflicts and needs to be either patched for PHP 8.1 or replaced with a modern alternative (like Smart Slider 3) without losing the current design.
No Redesign: I am NOT looking for a redesign. I need the site to keep its exact same look, content, and Google Ads configurations. I just need the "engine" updated so it doesn't crash on PHP 8.1.
Goal: I want the site to load perfectly with the correct layout and the WhatsApp button (Join.chat) functioning in its right-hand position while running on PHP 8.1.
Please let me know if you can handle these specific code updates and how long it would take. I can provide the detailed error report if needed.
