Background of the issue:
I am trying to use WPML with a theme that also uses the Illuminate Collection helpers functions. This issue was described in https://wpml.org/forums/topic/global-helpers-name-collision-value/. The support person said a future release would address the issue, but it is still not resolved. Please update the `value()` function at line 25 of `vendor/collect/src/Illuminate/Support/helpers.php` to accept arguments and avoid collisions with other packages that are more up to date.
Symptoms:
Result is a fatal error because WPML's `value()` function is outdated and does not pass arguments.
Questions:
When will the `value()` function be updated to accept arguments?
I understand the issue you're experiencing. The support for passing arguments in the `value()` function is still under development. We expect to complete it soon, and hopefully, the solution will be included in the next major WPML update.
I am also adding this issue to our development ticket to prioritize it further.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work toward a solution.
Thank you for your response. This has been an issue since at least Sept 2022. In Aug 2023, WPML support shared that the fix would be included in the next release. The conflict is with Laravel, a common PHP development framework, and can be resolved by simply updating WPML's packages to more recent versions. When will this issue be addressed?
