# PHP error when using Add New Plugin function

 * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-when-using-add-new-plugin-function/)
 * Just noticed this error when using the “Add New plugin” function from the admin
   panel where the popular plugin tags are suppose to be shown:
 * Warning: number_format() expects parameter 1 to be double, string given in /xxxxxx/
   xxxxx.xxx/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 155
 * (x’s added to mask my server info)
 * Also when I tried to bring up the info screen for a plugin needing updated (when
   you click on view details) that screen is completely blank except for a blue 
   box in the upper right corner that says “FYI”
 * I have for separate installs running different plugins and I get the same error
   on all four

 * Got the same problem.. I tried deactivating all plugins one by one and even delete
   them, but same problem.

 * Erm ok I think I must be thick, I have the same problem, I am looking at the 
   link posted here where the last 2 posters said its fixed after reading the link.
   I must be missing something as I dont see a fix in the link posted?
