Dear Cryout Staff!

Two days ago I updated our school’s server to Debian 12. After that WordPress is displaying a Fatal Error message. I enabled debug, deleted cache(simple-cache plugin), disabled plugins. Installed PHP 8.1 because 8.2 is unsupported in wordpress and Nextcloud.
But now I’m clueless.
This is the error message:
“[15-Jul-2023 10:04:06 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier ” ” in /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/tempera/includes/theme-setup.php:284

#12 /var/www/html/index.php(17): require(‘…’)
#13 {main}

All help is greatly appreciated. I hope I wont’t have to go back to PHP 7.4 to fix this. Because then I will be stuck there. Nextcloud won’t update on PHP7. Maybe PHP 8.0?

This is line 284:
‘description’ => sprintf(__(‘Only drag [Cryout Column] widgets here. Recommended size for uploaded images: %1$dpx (width) x %2$dpx (height). Go to the Tempera Settings page >> Presentation Page Settings >> Columns to edit sizes and more.’,’tempera’ ), $temperas[‘tempera_colimagewidth’],$temperas[‘tempera_colimageheight’]),

A friend of mine tried Tempera in a test WP server. He cannot activate the theme, same error(PHP 8.1 and apache).
So it is a compatibility issue after all?
Please help, this is a school’s homepage, the will need it in august.
Or is there a way to migrate a newer theme of yours?

Solved!!!
A friend discovered that there is a bug in the theme’s translation files. A value is not accepted (% 1 $ dpx). PHP 7.4 still forgave the error, but 8.1 no longer allowed it in our opinion. He recompiled the .mo and .po files and I overwrote the existing ones.
So the theme really works on PHP 8.1 as well.
