Pi-hole diagnosis keep giving me these errors and I don't know how to fix it at all:
error 1:interface eth0 does not currently exist
error 2:reducing DNS packet size for nameserver 8.8.4.4 to 1232
**The issue I am facing:pi hole is not blocking any the ads and i have my router dns server set to the right IP (192.168.50.126)
**Details about my system:raspberry pi 4 running on pi OS
**What I have changed since installing Pi-hole: changed my 5Ghz WiFi channel bandwidth to 80Hhz and control channel to 161 because i couldn't connect to my 5Ghz WIFI
Clients connecting to WiFi is separate from any Pi-hole activity. That is a transaction between the client and the router.
That's not what the clients are seeing:

There is an active eth0 interface. The warning may have been generated on Pi-hole startup if the ethernet interface had not yet become active:
eth0 (192.168.50.126)
Your gravity list is empty:

Just above where it says Add a new adlist, paste in the adlist address and click the Add button and it should now be showing in the list like above
Now you have to tell Pi-hole to inspect that list and extract all the domains from it to store locally in its adblocking database. Pi-hole calls this database Gravity. So you need to update Gravity. To do that
Click on Tools then Update Gravity in the sidebar
Click the long blue Update button over on the right
It will take a minute or two, so stay on that page until it says it's done. Now you're all done. If you go to the Dashboard in the sidebar you should see the green Domains on Adlists icon at the top now has many thousand domains on it, which all came from that list.
You can add more adlists from other locations, but don't forget to Update Gravity if you add a new list.
the link was there the whole time so i just updated Gravity (for chrisIph) what else can i do now?
sorry for long response, work and person life gets in the way to fix my Pi-Hole.
still not really resolved. so i'm still asking for help and i did what i was told to do and add the the link to the adlist. please any help i will take it.
The warning that the eth0 interface doesn't exist appears to be caused by your ethernet interface not becoming active after a device restart, before Pi-hole looks for the interface.
You can delay Pi-hole startup to allow this interface to become active:
