Fatal Error in Rank Math Breadcrumbs with PHP 8.2.27 – ArgumentCountError on spr

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Rank Math breadcrumbs feature. The error you are encountering seems to be related to a compatibility issue with PHP 8.2, specifically with the sprintf() function expecting more arguments than it is receiving.

To address this issue, we recommend the following steps:

1. Check for Updates: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math. Sometimes, updates include fixes for compatibility issues with newer PHP versions.

2. Report the Issue: Since this appears to be a specific bug related to PHP 8.2, we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Please reply to your ticket with this detailed information so that a human agent can investigate further and work on a fix.

3. Temporary Workaround: As you’ve noted, disabling breadcrumbs resolves the error. If breadcrumbs are essential for your site, consider keeping them disabled until a fix is released.

Thank you for your understanding and for raising this concern. We will ensure that it is addressed promptly by our development team.

Please head over to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Breadcrumbs and change the “Search Results Format” to: Search for %s

Once done, clear your website’s cache and see if that fixes the issue.

If the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
