    This happens when I try to save a navigation menu widget with dynamic options set. The options are actually saved, but I end up at the death screen.

    Fatal error: Uncaught Error: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, string given
in /public/wp-content/plugins/dynamic-widgets/dynwid_admin_save.php on line 313

    We have the same error. We solved it by rolling our development site back to PHP 7.*

    The error apparently only occurs in PHP 8.*

    @emmek & @sharkstack

    Can you share the minimum set of dynamic widget edit options that lead to this behavior? We have tested on PHP 8 and with WP 6.4 and can’t reproduce this error.

    Thanks!

    I cannot reproduce it anymore so I mark the issue as resolved.
