    Hey there! Unfortunately, that is an error related to the PHP version in use. That happens on PHP 7.4, but does not happen on PHP 8 and later.

    A new ElasticPress 5.3.1 will be released addressing this problem, but in the meantime, I recommend that you upgrade your PHP version, as PHP 7.4 hit its end of life back in November 2022 (see here).

    Also worth mentioning is that we don’t provide support here. For this specific error, we already have a GitHub issue, but if you see anything else, please open a GitHub issue instead. Thanks!
