Following the update to version 10.8.5 this morning, PHP fatal errors were being caused whenever a page was using an ARVE shortcode. This would be the typical log:

2026/05/08 11:44:32 [error] 695873#695873: *3507281 FastCGI sent in stderr: “PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: preg_match(): Argument #1 ($pattern) must be of type string, null given in /var/www/html/foobar.com/wp-content/plugins/arve-pro/php/fn-shortcode-filters.php:138

Note I also have the Pro plugin installed (v.7.1.2).

I dowgraded the main/free plugin to 10.8.2 and it solved my issue.

This needs to be addressed urgently.

You did not read the sticky post. Thanks anyway for reporting this even if here is the wrong place. I found a bug that caused outdated add-ons to be executed.

This would not happen if you also updated pro to latest 7.1.4 but good that this helped catch a bug. If you now update ARVE only and not Pro it will simply not execute any code from the pro-addon (no errors) but you need the latest for it to work again.
