ob_end_clean() at least its printing menu without CSS.

// Turn on output buffering HTML

ob_start();

echo preg_replace( '/n|t/i', '', implode( '' , $wr_nitro_header_html ) );

WR_Nitro_Header_Builder::prop( 'html', ob_get_contents() );

ob_end_clean()

    Your theme may not be compatible with 8.1, as there are several breaking changes introduced when migrating from 7.4 to 8.1. Try adding:

    define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);

    to your wp-config.php file and see if errors print to the DOM, or make the display false and check debug.log if you are concerned about printing errors.

    Then, reach out to the theme company directly and asking if they are compatible with PHP 8.1.

    There is a compatibility issue because the Output Buffering has been changed in PHP 8.1

    In PHP 8.1. you have to use the new aliases instead of using the PHP 7.4 ob_* functions.

    For example:

    use function OutputControlob_start;
use function OutputControlob_end_flush;
use function OutputControlob_get_clean;

ob_start();

echo "Hello, world!";

ob_end_flush();

$output = ob_get_clean();

    Alternatively, you can use the OutputControl namespace like that:

    use OutputControl;

// Enable output buffering
ob_start();

echo "Hello, world!";

ob_end_flush();

$output = ob_get_clean();
