Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier

Resolved

(@ranjithsiji)

I am running a wordpress in php8.0 and I got

Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier """ in ---wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/inc/core/assets.php:125 
Stack trace: 
#0 ---wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/inc/core/assets.php(125): sprintf() #1 ---wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(287): Su_Assets::register() 
#2 ---wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(311): WP_Hook->apply_filters() 
#3 ---wp-includes/plugin.php(484): WP_Hook->do_action() 
#4 ---wp-admin/admin-header.php(147): do_action() 
#5 ---wp-admin/index.php(115): require_once('...') 
#6 {main} thrown in ---wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/inc/core/assets.php on line 125

Due to this I now disabled the plugin and trying to fix it. Any help to fix this error and running again will be very good help. Expecting some comments in this issue.

Regards

A very short and quick fix to get things working in PHP 8. is

Just replace the line 125 in —wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/inc/core/assets.php

to

'error' => sprintf( __('%1$s. <a href="%3$s" target="_blank"><u>%2$s</u></a>'), __( 'Failed to load content.', 'shortcodes-ultimate' ), __( 'Open link', 'shortcodes-ultimate' ), '%url%' ),

And it works. If the owner of this plugin can update the code then that will be great.

I encounter this fatal error and cannot continue unless I delete the whole plugin..
