Array to string conversion in […]/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-debug-data.php

Hi @cp_so,

It’s a(n easily reproducible) bug in the add_site_health_info() method which is located in the better-wp-security/core/modules/core/class-itsec-core-admin.php file. The plugin method is returning an array() value instead of a string value for debug data (key settings).

Note the PHP warning(s) are visible in the (debug) output generated by the Copy site info to clipboard button.

Thanks @nlpro!
Do you know if there are any plans for a fix from Solid Security?

Thank you again, and have a great day.

Hi @cp_so, great to see you!

I am seeing this on a fresh install as well and have escalated it to our dev team for checking. I don’t have an ETA for the fix, but we’ll surely address this since this is reproducible on our end.

@nlpro, thank you for your input on the issue. It’s greatly appreciated!

Hi @cp_so,

Temporary workaround:

add_filter( 'debug_information', 'reset_site_health_info' );

function reset_site_health_info( $info ) {

	$info['solid-security']['fields']['settings']['debug'] = $info['solid-security']['fields']['settings']['value'] . ' (Debug value reset to default to prevent PHP warnings due to a bug in the Solid Security Basic 9.3.2 release).';

	return $info;
}

Hi @shanedelierrr, happy to hear that. Thank you for the prompt support.

Thanks again, @nlpro: your kindness is invaluable.
I will take a look at your workaround right away!

PS: Most supportive support forum ever.

Hi @cp_so,

If my earlier code snippet is not taking care of all the PHP warnings try the one below (thoroughly tested):

add_filter( 'debug_information', 'reset_site_health_info', 11 );

function reset_site_health_info( $info ) {

	$msg = ' (Debug value reset to default to prevent PHP warnings due to a bug in the Solid Security Basic 9.3.2 release).';

	$info['solid-security']['fields']['settings']['debug'] = $info['solid-security']['fields']['settings']['value'] . $msg;

	$info['solid-security']['fields']['user_groups']['debug'] = $info['solid-security']['fields']['user_groups']['value'] . $msg;

	return $info;
}

Hi @cp_so,

According to the 9.3.4 Changelog:

Bug Fix: PHP warning on Site Health page.

Please update the SolSec plugin to the 9.3.4 release (remove the temporary workaround filter I recommended) and then confirm the issue has been fixed in your env. If so, please mark this topic as ‘Resolved’.
