Title: Warning when conflicted plugin Last modified: August 24, 2021 --- # Warning when conflicted plugin * Resolved [Christoph Jaenisch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/campaz/) * (@campaz) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/) * Hi, I am getting a warning in my debug log when there is a conflicted plugin: * Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in /wp-content/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/src/ Conflicts.php on line 428 * line 428: esc_html__( ‘Heads up! WP Mail SMTP has detected %1$s is activated. Please deactivate %1$s to prevent conflicts.’, ‘wp-mail-smtp’ ), $this->get_conflict_name() * Fix is easy as you see. * Best regards, Christoph Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Gregor Capuder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/) * (@capuderg) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/#post-14800427) * Hi Christoph, * thank you for reporting this issue. * I tried to replicate it, but I could not. I tested on PHP 5.6, 7.4, and 8.0 and I can’t get this PHP warning to appear in my WP debug log. * I see what the issue is (numbered string placeholder instead of a simple “unnumbered” placeholder), but we are still using just one parameter, so I’m trying to replicate this issue before we fix it. * Could you please let me know which PHP version, WP version, and which version of our plugin you are using? * Thank you and take care! * Thread Starter [Christoph Jaenisch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/campaz/) * (@campaz) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/#post-14800474) * Hi [@capuderg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/), here is my setup: * PHP 7.4.21 WP 5.8 Plugin version: 3.0.3 * I am using it with Disable Emails 1.7.0 if that matters. * Best regards * Plugin Author [Gregor Capuder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/) * (@capuderg) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/#post-14802317) * Hi Christoph, * are you maybe using a non-English language on your WP site? Maybe this string is translated wrongly in your selected language and the `%1$s` placeholders are broken? * I tested with Disable Emails plugin, but as expected, the PHP warning is still not showing up. * Take care! * [whispertante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whispertante/) * (@whispertante) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/#post-14802644) * Hi, * yes, that was the problem: In the German translation, the string is like this: Kopf hoch! WP Mail SMTP hat festgestellt, dass %1$s aktiviert ist. Bitte deaktiviere% 2$s, um Konflikte zu vermeiden. * After changing it to %1$s, it works. * Thanks for your help! * Plugin Author [Gregor Capuder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/) * (@capuderg) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/#post-14803351) * Hi [@whispertante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whispertante/), * thank you for working with me to figure out what was going on. * I’ve already submitted the translation improvement in wordpress.org and I hope it will be accepted soon. * Thank you again and have a nice day! * [Jan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krugmedien/) * (@krugmedien) * [4 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/#post-15016778) * Hi Gregor, * do you know when this will be fixed? * Because I have the same error: [https://ibb.co/JKPBN0t](https://ibb.co/JKPBN0t). * Thanks Jan * Plugin Author [Gregor Capuder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/) * (@capuderg) * [4 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/#post-15027702) * Hi [@krugmedien](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krugmedien/), * my translation improvement is still in the “waiting” stage. I’m sorry, but I’m not sure how long it takes them to review and accept my suggested translation fix. * Take care! * [whispertante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whispertante/) * (@whispertante) * [4 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/#post-15028045) * [@krugmedien](https://wordpress.org/support/users/krugmedien/) You can fix it yourself by using a translation plugin, e.g. Loco Translate, and override the translation file. * [bkiehle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bkiehle/) * (@bkiehle) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-when-conflicted-plugin/#post-15109752) * Hi [@capuderg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/capuderg/), has your translation improvement been rolled out yet?
