Since PHP 8.1,
readonly
is a reserved keyword and cannot be used as a function name.In order to avoid PHP parser errors, the
readonly()
function was extracted to a separate file and is now only included conditionally on PHP < 8.1 in WP 5.9.To prevent plugins/themes using this function each having to polyfill it, the new
wp_readonly()
function is being backported.Trac ticket: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53858
