paulW-38	Dear WPML support! When I try to scan the following plugin „Customer Reviews for WooCommerce" for strings the pop with the curly does not end. Scanning all the other plugin’s work fine. I also tried it on our integration environment which runs under PHP 7.4 and there the scan works also fine. Just on production - which runs under PHP 8.1 - the scan does not work only for this plugin. I also tired deleting this plugin and reinstalling it - same error. In the logs I see the following error: 2023-02-24T15:01:27+00:00 CRITICAL Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "moderated" in /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/inc/potx.php:457 Stack trace: #0 /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/inc/potx.php(457): constant('moderated') #1 /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/inc/potx.php(185): _potx_find_t_calls_with_context('/srv/www/www.ma...', Array, '_nx', 'default') #2 /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/inc/gettext/wpml-plugin-string-scanner.class.php(30): _potx_process_file('/srv/www/www.ma...', 0, Array, '_potx_save_vers...', 'default') #3 /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/inc/gettext/wpml-plugin-string-scanner.class.php(18): WPML_Plugin_String_Scanner->scan_plugin_files() #4 /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/classes/strings-scanning/class-wpml-st-theme-plugin-scan-files-ajax.php(33): WPML_Plugin_String_Scanner->scan() #5 /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(308): WPML_ST_Theme_Plugin_Scan_Files_Ajax->scan('') #6 /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(332): WP_Hook->apply_filters('', Array) #7 /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #8 /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php(188): do_action('wp_ajax_wpml_st...') #9 {main} thrown in /srv/www/www.magped.com/wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/inc/potx.php in Zeile 457 And in the browser console I see the following error:

We will get back to you soon when we have an update from the developers. Please wait. The workarounds, for now, are please switch to PHP 7.4 while scanning for the strings or make the following changes after a full site backup{mandatory}. 1) Go to wp-content/plugins/wpml-string-translation/inc folder 2) Open the potx.php file for editing and scroll down to line 457 3) Make the following change and save the file. From $constant_val = @constant( $_potx_tokens[ $ti + $context_offset ][ 1 ] ); To $constant_val = $_potx_tokens[ $ti + $context_offset ][ 1 ]; -- Thanks! Bigul
