Hi, It's come to my attention that many emojis are no longer saving in WordPress posts since upgrading to PHP 8.1. I've checked and the server connection collation is utf8mb4_unicode_ci. I've read advice on enabling nd_mysqli in EasyApache, and can't find this option in the extensions. So I could do with some advice on what to look for to get this working, please! There is a wealth of advice regarding this issue with PHP 7, but not specifically PHP 8. It all worked fine with PHP 7. Any advice will be gratefully received!

  Hey there! The most likely package is the php81-php-mysqlnd package. Can you ensure that is installed on your system?

  Thanks! Yes, it is installed and enabled.

  I'm not sure why that wouldn't be working properly, then, as mysqlnd is our version of that tool. Is it possible that you have the entries in your local .htaccess file as mentioned here?
