Hi
If you have German language and issue is of the
Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier “m” in
wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/classes/wp-security-notices.php:218
there is the translation issue posted by translator @toxicum I have contacted on wordpress slack to approve the suggestion
The similar issue reported below

Yes it is german version. Let me check and then give you an update. I am busy with the site that has to go online soon.
Hi everyone,
For those encountering the fatal error caused by the German translation of the AIOS plugin, here’s a practical workaround that worked for me after troubleshooting for nearly 45 minutes:
1. Deactivate the plugin via FTP:
• Access your server through FTP.
• Navigate to /wp-content/plugins/ and rename the folder all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall to something like all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall-deactivated.
This will deactivate the plugin and give you access to your WordPress dashboard again.
2. Install Loco Translate (if you haven’t already):
• Go to the WordPress plugin repository and install Loco Translate. It’s a handy tool for managing translations.
3. Fix the German translation manually:
• Open Loco Translate and locate the AIOS plugin translations.
• Search for the problematic strings related to “Save 20%% off with code %s” (or similar).
• In the German version, ensure that the double percentage symbol %% is correctly written, as a single % is invalid in sprintf.
• Correct the translation to: “Spare 20%% mit dem Code %s.”
- Re-enable the plugin:
• Rename the plugin folder back to all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall via FTP.
• Reactivate it from the WordPress dashboard.
This will fix the issue caused by the faulty German translation and allow the plugin to run smoothly. I hope this helps others who are facing the same frustration!
Best regards,
Janin
Thanks Janin for the fix! Works perfectly!
The Plugin was updated. Thanks for that.!
Translation in German is fixed as well. Please update your translations.
Hi @normaldenker @janinh141 @phillipsburgh
The translator fixed the translation issue. We have also made sure that in the future if such an issue occurs by any other translator, it does not throw a fatal error. AIOS 5.3.8 was released for it.
Regards
