    PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_merge(): Argument #2 must be of type array, string given in /var/www/www.beerwalk.dk/www/wp-content/plugins/etranslation-multilingual/includes/class-settings.php:440

    I can run v 2.0.3 without errors.

    Hello Morten,

    The error indicates that the second argument passed to the array_merge() function is a string instead of an array. Specifically, the call to get_option(‘etm_advanced_settings’, $default_etm_advanced_settings) is returning a string, suggesting that the option_value for etm_advanced_settings in the wp_options table is incorrectly stored as a string.

    Workaround:
    To resolve this, delete the problematic row from the database:

    DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'etm_advanced_settings';

    After this, the plugin should activate successfully.

    The root cause may be an outdated version of the plugin saving malformed data, or manual edits to the wp_options table. We’ve reported the issue and will include a fix in the next plugin release to handle such scenarios more gracefully.

    That fixed it, thx. Upgraded now to 2.0.6 without problem.
