WordPress Include ‘print_f’ in WP_Customize_Control array [closed]

As documented (always read the docs), printf() returns:

…the length of the outputted string.

That’s why you’re getting 30.

If you’re adding a value to an array or a string you need to use a function that returns a value. Not one that prints. printf() prints the value and returns the length of the printed value. To return a formatted string, you need to use sprintf():

'label' => sprintf( __('Option to share on %s', 'theme-name'), 'name'),

See here for more on the difference between returning and printing/echoing.
