Please describe your problem. When logging into the ACP the following messages appear at the top of the General Tab.
HTTP input character conversion is improperly configured
mbstring.http_input must be left empty. You can check the current value on the PHP information page.

mbstring.http_output must be left empty. You can check the current value on the PHP information page.
From what I understand, php8 does not include these as they are depreciated. After searching through the forums I found several topics about this and many suggestions to fix it by updating the .htaccess file, php.ini file to set the settings to
mbstring.http_input = pass
mbstring.http_output = pass
mbstring.http_input = none
mbstring.http_output = none
mbstring.http_input =
mbstring.http_output =
Have tried all of these by adding them and variations to the Additional directives section in Plesk for this website. Confirmed that they show up in the php.ini after updating. But none of these fix the errors from showing up in ACP.
When checking the PHP Information in the ACP it shows the following values for LOCAL/MASTER:
mbstring.http_input pass no value
mbstring.http_output pass no value
Any idea how to fix this? It is perplexing and I'm concerned it maybe breaking some functionality for the forum.
Please advise, thank you for your response.
