@niekrosens @robruifrok @justinkruit @arjan202 Hi,

hope you are doing good.

That’s a Freemius side error and we are aware of it, we are already talking to the freemius team about this issue, and will share updates soon.

This issue is coming in PHP 8 or 8.1 if possible please downgrade the PHP version or disable the wp_debug mode.

Thanks

I consider downgrading php as a kind of indecent proposal. As I mentioned before going back to a previous version 2.1.1.1 solves the problem. Adding fremius doesn’t add any useful functionality for users of the plugin, so leaving that out solves our problem. My be fremius should be a bit less keen on collecting user data.

We are working on this issue and will share updates soon.

Thanks

Same here. Dutch website. Rolled back to v2.1.1.1
Problem solved. For now.

How can you roll back?
Been googling for the older version, but can’t find it.

@arjan202 : install a plugin called WP Rollback. That one did the trick. After that, you can roll back (terugplaatsen) to the desired version at the plugin page.

To download a previous version:
Go to the plugin page on www.ads-software.com. Click on ‘Advanced view’ in the right sidebar. Scroll down on the new page to ‘Previous versions’. Select and download.

Hi @robruifrok @rvds @arjan202 @niekrosens @justinkruit

Hope you are doing good.

The issue is fixed, you can test the Beta version on your staging websites first then update the plugin on your live websites.

Download the Beta 2.1.4 version from here.

Let me know if the issue is still there.

Thanks

2.1.4 does not resolve the problem. Please take note of the remark of @roaldcraenen in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/fatal-error-uncaught-valueerror-unknown-format-specifier-w/

Exactly! The 2.1.4 beta or RC version does not resolve this issue. Overwriting the nl_NL translation file does.

@roaldcraenen @robruifrok thanks, let me look into this, will share updates shortly.

@robruifrok @rvds @arjan202 @niekrosens

Can you test now this Latest version 2.1.4.rc2? we have fixed this issue in Beta 2.1.4.rc2.

Let me know if there are still any issues.

Thanks
