Oh apparently I didn't test with PHP 8 yet. Thank you for report.

@mikesmith500 could you be a little bit mor specific? What have you done, which button or link clicked?

I just setup a PHP 8.0.11 test environment and didn't get that error.

So I'm looking forward to more information to fix this issue for you.

The error comes out when I go into components / schuweb sitemap.
