Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments

[theemwiz]

I am getting this warning Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments when installing plugins through TGMPA script on WordPress 4.8. Is this a known warning with latest version of WordPress?

[simrandeep]

I am too facing the same issue. Can you please provide a fix for it?

[GaryJones]

Can you be more descriptive about the error message please?

Which plugin or theme is using TGMPA? What version of TGMPA is being used?

[theemwiz]

The TGMPA version which is used is 2.6.1. I am developing this theme.

[simrandeep]

I have tested it in 4 WordPress themes with TGM v2.6.1 and getting the same error as shown in screenshot above.

[al5dy]

I have the same error. The problem appeared after the 4.8v wp.

[al5dy]

Bingo! Issue solved. I added some changes in class-tgm-plugin-activation.php

Change: $this->upgrader->strings['skin_update_successful'] = %HERE LONG DEFAULT CODE CALLED ERROR% to $this->upgrader->strings['skin_update_successful'] = __( '%1$s done.' );

[simrandeep]

@al5dy Can you attach the full code here?

[al5dy]

@simrandeep Fix only one function. https://gist.github.com/al5dy/965d0eefffab32df3b04badbc2274d08

@al5dy

Thank you! It fixed the issue :)

[theemwiz]

@al5dy Thanks for the fix. Look forward to TGMPA official update.

[GaryJones]

Thanks all for the useful feedback - we'll look into this ASAP (as we'll also need to make it work with older versions of WP.

I have the same error and can not install requires plugin on PHP 5.3 // WP 4.8

[jrfnl]

A fix for this issue (#670) has now been merged in and will be included in the upcoming 2.6.2 release.

[hellor0bot]

@jrfnl Any updates on the release?

[masterbip]

Many thanks @al5dy. Your fix worked!

Is this still an issue in 4.9? I just did a clean install, installed Jupiter 6.1.1 and got the error on required plugins. Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in \wp-admin\includes\class-bulk-upgrader-skin.php on line 150

Had to fix with: Old Code: if ( $this->result && ! is_wp_error( $this->result ) ) { if ( ! $this->error ) { echo '

' . '

' . sprintf( $this->upgrader->strings['skin_update_successful'], $title ) . ' ' . __( 'Show details.' ) . '' . '

'; } echo ''; }

New Code: if ( $this->result && ! is_wp_error( $this->result ) ) { if ( ! $this->error ) echo '

' . sprintf($this->upgrader->strings['skin_update_successful'], $title, 'jQuery(\'#progress-' . esc_js($this->upgrader->update_current) . '\').toggle();jQuery(\'span\', this).toggle(); return false;') . '

'; echo ''; }

@MiGzY Ran into this issue as well, however, a solution I found (courtesy of ahmadhassan10) was to replace:

            if ( ! $this->error ) {
                echo '<div class="updated js-update-details" data-update-details="progress-' . esc_attr( $this->upgrader->update_current ) . '">' .
                    '<p>' . sprintf( $this->upgrader->strings['skin_update_successful'], $title ) .
                    ' <button type="button" class="hide-if-no-js button-link js-update-details-toggle" aria-expanded="false">' . __( 'Show details.' ) . '</button>' .
                    '</p></div>';
            }

            echo '<script type="text/javascript">jQuery(\'.waiting-' . esc_js($this->upgrader->update_current) . '\').hide();</script>';
        }

With This:

            if ( ! $this->error )
                echo '<div class="updated"><p>' . sprintf($this->upgrader->strings['skin_update_successful'], $title, 'jQuery(\'#progress-' . esc_js($this->upgrader->update_current) . '\').toggle();jQuery(\'span\', this).toggle(); return false;') . '</p></div>';
                    echo '<script type="text/javascript">jQuery(\'.waiting-' . esc_js($this->upgrader->update_current) . '\').hide();</script>';
        }

Seems to work fine now.

[MiGzY]

Yes - that's a stripped down version of my code by the looks.

[Remzi1993]

This is still happening! When do you release a new version? If I check on relases I see 2.6.1 is the latest.

[amrinz]

Still there:
