Question TypeError creating Categories

When I create a category, I receive the following error.  I have searched the forum and the web, but can't find anything related to Kunena to explain how to resolve the issue.  I can replicate it everytime just by creating a new category.

Can anyone help?

The error is:  File: /home/hadr/public_html/administrator/components/com_kunena/controllers/
Line: 517

This error is caused by php 8.0.x. It seems that it affects the whole Joomla 3.10 installation. For example, the system info can't be accessed either. Do you have the possibility to go back to php 7.x until we find a fix for it?

I went back to PHP 7.4 and the issue was resolved.  I'll stay at 7.4 until something forces me to go to 8.  Thanks for the help.

Hello,

I have made a fix for it : github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/commit/a4...df0b1fe01f682411119a
