Hi @joapreditor,

We resolve some of these warnings with each release. Upgrading to the latest will help.

PHP Deprecated: Non-static method PKPApplication::getRequest() should not be called statically…
…

About this bunch of “PHP Deprecated” messages… I checked the file mentioned in those messages and found such code there:
$request = PKPApplication::getRequest();
I replaced it by such code:
$request = (new Application) -> getRequest();
and it solved the problem, no more “PHP Deprecated” messages in the log.
I don’t know if it is a good idea in general (from the code creators point of view) and I don’t know if it will work for you. So don’t use my words as a universal suggestion, but for me it solved the problem and brought no bad side effects, so I decided to register here to share my experience.
