Site updated to PHP 8.2 - any problems?

Please let me know if you encounter any new problems or find something missing.

After many warnings that PHP 7.4 was not getting security updates I took the plunge and updated to 8.2, the latest that Hostinger offers in its easy update tool. Much to my dismay, all I got from the site afterward was a white page with a message that it had a technical problem. I had done a PHP version compatibility check on the 7.4 site and a couple of plugins were reportedly problematic so I deactivated them - still white. Hostinger has an AI Troubleshooter for WordPress sites so I ran it and took the option to let it fix the reported problems. Happily the site came online again without content that was dependent on the deactivated plugins. Activating them restored that content and, after cursory inspection, I think everything is back. But maybe not!
