Hello, these are:

Current plugin: Gravity Forms (version 2.4.12.6)  
PHP version 8.0.24

The Gravity Forms version is too old for the PHP version. Updating to the latest version, currently 2.6.7, should resolve those issues.

In that case you’ll need to manually update:

> In this article, we explain how to update Gravity Forms or an Add-On from your WordPress dashboard.

Yes I have tried this too, but Gravity forms will not allow me to download this version from the site. Even though I am already running gravity forms on GPL-2.0+ free license. Is it no longer free?

There has never been a free version of Gravity Forms. A paid license, which is only available from [gravityforms.com](http://gravityforms.com), has always been required to access updates and plugin downloads.

You can purchase a license at [Pricing | WordPress Form Builder Plugin | Gravity Forms](https://www.gravityforms.com/pricing/)

Where would I find my license code? I must have one since this has been working on the site for many years.
