    Hi there,

    I have noticed a bug that is triggered with PHP 7.1 when using Yoast SEO and saving changes to the meta description of a WordPress post. Using PHP 7.1.10 – but now I had to revert to PHP 7.0.24

    With PHP 7.0 everything is fine. Also, when I deactivate XML News Sitemap and am running PHP 7.1, there are no problems.

    With PHP 7.1, Yoast and XML News Sitemap activated I am getting an empty page when trying to save changes to the meta description, and the following error in WordPress debug mode:

    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

    Hello @w-sky, this issue should be resolved now. I have changed the Genres select field to be a standard text field and made some code updates to reflect this change. I think this is the best way forward as Google will most likely introduce new Genres all the time so having a free-form text field will allow publishers to adapt to these changes.

    Thanks, I confirm. This error is gone.
