If you've upgraded to mySQLi and you find that HTML text is displaying the HTML code as well as the text, all you need to do is update the PHP code as in the following example:

Old code:

I've upgraded all the sites I manage from PHP7.4 to 8.2 and after getting a series of PHP errors, these are the steps I took to fix the errors which I hope will be helpful to others.

1. Check your Connections file - if you have the charset set to utf8 or utf-8, change it to UTF8 (uppercase).
   
2. Make sure you have the latest version Data Bridge installed, and replace the following folders/files if they were generated using an older version:
   - webassist/mysqli folder containing authentication.php, queryobj.php & rsobj.php
   
   
3. If you use WA Email, also replace the following in the webassist/email folder:
   - WA_Email.php
   - phpmailer folder
   
4. If you use form validations, replace the webassist/form_validations folder containing wavt_scripts_php.php and wavt_validatedform_php.php

Just in case we ever lose WA Forum, here is the full answer:

The latest Adobe Creative Cloud update has introduced a file corruption issue in the Dreamweaver menus.xml and insertbar.xml files. This will cause extensions to not show in the Dreamweaver Insert menu and the Insert Panel. Hopefully Adobe will fix this soon.

You have a corruption in the underlying Dreamweaver files that now needs to be fixed.

1. Do NOT use the Anastasiy’s Extension Manager!

2. ONLY use the DMXzone Extension Manager.

3. Follow the instructions on the page link. The Dreamweaver configuration folder is corrupt and needs to be replaced with a default configuration. The instructions here are very important, follow each step:

First, be sure that you have re-started Dreamweaver after you renamed the configuration folder. Then shut Dreamweaver down.

In the DMXzone Extension Manager, if your extensions are listed as installed then you must first un-install each. Just click the X to the right of each extension. This will clear the extension database. Now you can install each one, one at a time.

Be sure that Dreamweaver is shut down during this operation.
