Failing after site migration- PHP 8.011 issue?

#1

I’ve just moved my site over to a new host and when I try to activate the standard plugin I get this error

Fatal error : Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier “;” in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/s2member-pro/src/includes/syscon.inc.php:137 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/s2member-pro/src/includes/syscon.inc.php(137): sprintf() #1 /var/www/html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(303): ws_plugin__s2member_pro_default_options() #2 /var/www/html/wp-includes/plugin.php(189): WP_Hook->apply_filters() #3 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/s2member/src/includes/syscon.inc.php(355): apply_filters() #4 /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/s2member/s2member.php(155): ws_plugin__s2member_configure_options_and_their_defaults() #5 /var/www/html/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php(2286): include_once(’…’) #6 /var/www/html/wp-admin/plugins.php(191): plugin_sandbox_scrape() #7 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/s2member-pro/src/includes/syscon.inc.php on line 137

Here my current site config:

The pro version installs but it’s not working.

OK. I changed the name of the S2-member-pro folder and I’m able to install the standard plugin. Now when I install the pro add on I get the WP white screen of death.

#3

I reported this plus a fix many months ago, it’s pretty horrendous this fix still hasn’t been implemented

#4

So other than that one line that needs to be removed, s2Member and Pro are both working in PHP 8?

#5

Yes line 137 removed everything for me works as before

#6

So in the file line 137 looks like this:

else if(!defined('WS_PLUGIN__S2MEMBER_VERSION') || !defined('WS_PLUGIN__S2MEMBER_MIN_PRO_VERSION') || !version_compare(WS_PLUGIN__S2MEMBER_VERSION, WS_PLUGIN__S2MEMBER_PRO_MIN_FRAMEWORK_VERSION, '>='))

So I should REM it out and re-upload it?

#7

Well I REM’d it out. Broke the site.

#8

Line 137 in the syscon.inc.php file, if I’m not mistaken. It deals with ClickBank.

#9

Wrong file

#10

@rcioffi, Did you figure it out?

#11

Not yet. Working on it this weekend. I’ll keep you posted.

#12

Look at my old post about it. It’s the clickbank line. Maybe moved up or down
