[Support request] Uncaught ValueError after PHP 8 upgrade

[Daniel]

I am experiencing the same error after upgrading to PHP 8. I have tickets open with TranslatePress and Elementor as well.
If I switch to 2022 theme, the TranslatePress language switcher works. With GP/GP Premium active, it does not. Switching themes is not a solution.
My site has German (DE) language as default, then French and Italian – these two cause the exception. I was able to change the slug name for Italian (it to itl) and it worked. But French continues to throw exceptions.

Hi Daniel,

Can you try disabling Essential addons for Elementor and Elementor Pro and then see if the error goes away?

Also, any chance you can copy the site to a staging site and let us have temporary backend access? So we can do some tests on it.

Let us know. 😀

– this is a staging environment
I can create a temporary login, if you send me an email address to use.

Deactivating EA for Elementor resulted in no changes, the exceptions still occurred.
Deactivating Elementor Pro: French (FR) language still threw the exception, but switching to Italian (IT) worked. There’s something about that FR slug which is causing a conflict, I think. But, changing the FR slug has not worked, either.
– the site cannot function without Elementor Pro active.

Hi there,

This sounds like there’s some sort of error in the Elementor Pro translation file.

Just to confirm:

1. The error goes away if Elementor Pro is deactivated
2. The error goes away with Elementor Pro activated if the language is changed from French

Is that correct?
