Error after updating to PHP 5.4

    My website host 1and1 required me to update to PHP 5.4. Before I did that, I updated WordPress to 3.5.1 and updated all plugins. Now I am getting these error codes atop all my admin pages:

    Warning: Illegal string offset ‘name’ in /homepages/7/d352737780/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/plugin.php on line 106

    Warning: Illegal string offset ‘description’ in /homepages/7/d352737780/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/plugin.php on line 108

    Sometimes–but not always–I get these codes instead of being able to pull up my website at all: https://www.editmore.com.

    I know very little about computer programming; the person who designed my site left the job where I had access to her, and I really don’t know what I should do to fix this. I saw a similar complaint on the larger WordPress forum, and the poster was advised to report this problem to the developers of Simple Sidebar, so that’s what I’m doing here. Please let me know how I can fix this problem.

  • Hey guys I’m experiencing the same issue. I have looked through the WP_Options in phpmyadmin in the DB and can’t find ss_settings or I:0,s:20:”_return_empty_array”.
    I am running php 5.4.21.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    look for ss-settings and not ss_settings

    I just wanted to thank FreestyleMD for this:

    You don’t have to delete everything though just

    i:0;s:20:”__return_empty_array”;

    and subtract 1 from the first integer after a:

    We just ran into this problem after updating mysql, and that solution worked perfectly for me. And not deleting all the settings allowed me to keep the working sidebars, which was great.
