Plugin update description breaks plugins page

Hello @dmcknight ,
Thank you for reaching us. Can you provide me with some screenshots of this problem? Unfortunately, I couldn’t find this error in our local environment.

Sure, it’s happening right now on one of our sites.

Video 1 shows how the plugins page abruptly stops rendering on the update message for postx. I also receive a “critical error” email from my hosting provider when I view the plugins page like this.

Video 2 shows how the plugins page renders completely (with subesequent plugins showing) when the postx plugin is deactivated.

Video 3 shows how I fix it, by updating the postx plugin while it is deactivated. After it is updated, I can reactivate it and everything is fine until the next update. It has been happening this way for the last few updates.

Hello @dmcknight ,
Thanks that worked to find out about the issue. Actually, it is caused because your PHP version being lower. It will be fixed in the next update.

If you need an immediate fix then you can ask your hosting company to update your PHP version to solve this issue. Or you can wait for our next update ??

Have a nice day!

Awesome Thanks!
