Something wrong with YAARP plugin this morning

Did you upgrade to WP 6.1? The YAARP plugin broke for me when I upgraded to WP 6.1. I turned on/off each plugin and the only one that causes a problem is YAARP.

Note that the plugin does indicate it’s not yet compatible with WP 6.1.

I don’t have a blank screen, but the page does not render properly.
WP Query plugin reports the following:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: round(): Argument #1 ($num) must be of type int|float, string given
in /xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/includes/template_builtin.php on line 33

What’s really odd is that if I refresh the page, the problem goes away.
But if I go back to the home page and click on the link to a page it appears again until I press refresh.

Do we have the same issue?

Update: this only happens to me as a logged-in user. A visitor hitting a cached page does not experience this issue.

I was forced to change PHP from 7.4 to 8.x by the hoster of my webpage AND updated to the latest WP version at the same time.

Since then I am having the same error messages. One of the two is responsible. Either the new WP version or PHP8.x … had to deactivate the plugin for now and am hoping for an update.

The get_the_score() function returing a string instead of an int or float. When the round() was called on a string, it gives a fatal error.

Quick and dirty solution I came up with is to type cast the value as float and then call the round().

on file wp-content/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/includes/template_builtin.php line 33 I edited as follows and it worked.

$round = round( (float)get_the_score(), 1 );

@cnxsoft You should double-check that it’s not caching that is resulting in the page looking OK when you’re not logged in. If it is caching, then once the cache clears the page won’t look right regardless of being logged in or not. In my case, I see the problem when logged in or not.
