Warning from ggplot - scale argument cannot be "FALSE"

[KGSchilling]

I just (2026-01-26) used the "fviz_mclust" command and got the following error message:

Warning message:
The <scale> argument of guides() cannot be FALSE. Use "none" instead as of
ggplot2 3.3.4.
ℹ The deprecated feature was likely used in the factoextra package.
Please report the issue at https://github.com/kassambara/factoextra/issues.

For users experiencing this issue, a temporary workaround is available via the factoextraplus package (https://zenodo.org/records/18131495), which includes this fix along with other compatibility updates for ggplot2 3.5.2+ and R 4.1.0+.

remotes::install_github("erdeyl/factoextraplus")
The fix replaces all deprecated aes_string() calls with aes() + .data pronoun from rlang.

A pull request with these fixes has been submitted (#194). Once merged, users can switch back to the original factoextra package.

Please use it alongside https://github.com/erdeyl/ggpubrplus (see the repo description).
