Hello @kennytdb @tmuka and @aberbenni

Thank you for reporting this issue. We are looking into this and will release an update shortly. Should we need any more information, we’ll let you know.

Thank you very much for your patience and cooperation.

The problem is a trailing comma in the esc_html__() function call with PHP<7.3.
A workaround for now is to remove the last comma in /wp-content/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/wp-security-audit-log.php on line 977

$result .= sprintf(
                /* translators: 1: Plugin name. 2: Plugin name. 2: Freemius link. 4: Plugin name. */
                    esc_html__( 'Please help us improve %1$s! If you opt-in, some non-sensitive data about your usage of %2$s will be sent to %3$s, a diagnostic tracking service we use. If you skip this, that\'s okay! %2$s will still work just fine.', 'wp-security-audit-log' ) .
                    '<strong>' . $plugin_title . '</strong>',
                    '<strong>' . $plugin_title . '</strong>',
                    '<a href="https://wpactivitylog.com/support/kb/non-sensitive-diagnostic-data/" target="_blank" tabindex="1">freemius.com</a>',
                    '<strong>' . $plugin_title . '</strong>',
                );

Remove the comma from the last line:

...
                    '<strong>' . $plugin_title . '</strong>'
                );
