PHP Deprecated error

We are getting this error message on our site in Omeka (version 3.1.2):

[07-Jul-2025 14:25:06 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Optional parameter $exhibit declared before required parameter $text is implicitly treated as a required parameter in /home/rmclibra/japanesewoodblockprints.rmclibrary.reclaim.hosting/plugins/Neatline/helpers/Views.php on line 115

Our content host suggested posting this here as they were unable to help.

This is a deprecation notice, so it doesn’t really represent an error or a problem per se.

Normally the developer could update the code of the plugin to eliminate messages like these, but to my knowledge Neatline’s developers aren’t maintaining it any longer.

To fix this yourself, you could make an edit to the file it mentions (helpers/Views.php, line 115 of the file), and change $exhibit=null to just be $exhibit .

Or you can just turn off error display to make the message not display.
