WordPress has been nagging me to update to php 8.0 for sometime, so i did. my excellent, but apparently no longer maintained, e-mail subscription plugin broke. Googling around from an error, i saw `count($somevar)` now has to be typed, and `count((array)$somevar)` is the workaround. So I stupidly went through all the instances of `count(...)`, threw in the `(array)` cast. Insanely it seems to work. I feel a bit dumb and a bit dirty about it though.
