    Problem with Yoast SEO and PHP Version 7.1.10 – I had to revert to PHP 7.0.24 for now. ??

    Here ist the full PHP error (shown with WP debug mode on). With debug mode off, an completely empty page will be shown after saving text in the meta description field of a wordpress post, and the text will not be saved.

    Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function sanitize_meta(), 1 passed in /usr/www/wp-content/plugins/xml-news-sitemap/gns_xml.php on line 312 and exactly 3 expected in /usr/www/wp-includes/meta.php:946 Stack trace: #0 /usr/www/wp-content/plugins/xml-news-sitemap/gns_xml.php(312): sanitize_meta('de') #1 /usr/www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(300): Gns_xml->dbdGsnSavePostData(18684) #2 /usr/www/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(323): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #3 /usr/www/wp-includes/plugin.php(453): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #4 /usr/www/wp-includes/post.php(3510): do_action('save_post', 18684, Object(WP_Post), true) #5 /usr/www/wp-includes/post.php(3583): wp_insert_post(Array, false) #6 /usr/www/wp-admin/includes/post.php(378): wp_update_post(Array) #7 /usr/www/wp-admin/post.php(193): edit_post() #8 {main} thrown in /usr/www/wp-includes/meta.php on line 946

    Hello,
    That sounds like a plugin or theme conflict. Looking at the error you posted, it seems to be related to xml-news-sitemap.

    Can you try and gather as much information for us as possible? Please perform the following:
    1. Make sure the issue doesn’t persist when Yoast SEO is disabled.
    2. Check for conflicts. As mentioned before, try disabling the plugin xml-news-sitemap first, since it looks like the problem might be related.
    3. Check for JavaScript errors with your console.
    If you find any JavaScript errors related to Yoast SEO or if there is a conflict with a plugin or a theme, you can create a new GitHub issue for our developers. Please report the issue to a third party developer as well.
    If you didn’t find any conflicts or errors, we think the issue is specific to your site. We’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these forums. You can purchase Yoast SEO Premium and receive our Premium email support and we can help you further.

    Hi marcanor, yes indeed! This problem is caused by the XML News Sitemap plugin by Justin Norton. I should have noticed this…

    If it is deactivated, everything is fine regarding Yoast. I’ll write about the bug in that forum. Thanks.
