Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /Users/michael/Apps/tregs/wp-content/plugins/joomla-to-wordpress-migrator/joomla2wp-mig.php on line 1626

Gave up waiting for any response and did the migration manually.
This is one of the main reasons I am now moving from Joomla to WP – support has pretty much dried up unless it’s a paid for plugin and I’m down now to my last Joomla site.

I have the same problem. The migration of users worked, but not the content. I get the same error. Anyone who knows how to solve this?

I had the similar problem. I was able to fix it using a php check near 1626 line. Under:
$j2wp_url_change_patterns = get_option(‘j2wp_url_change_patterns’);
i put a php check:
if(!$j2wp_url_change_patterns) return;

And the fatal error disappeared.

But i have another problem. I am not sure whether this is related to the one above, i think no , because the above function tries to replace url patters i guess. I am able to import everything fine but the post content :(. Also the utf-8 conversion does not seem to work at all. You can have a look at https://dev.jogindernagar.com/. Does anyone has an idea what’s going on here?

Gave up as well and migrated the data manually. Oh well!

How is it that this topic is classified as resolved?
There has been no response at all from the plugin owner.

I updated the code as arvindk explains. It imported all posts but me too: no post content. The solution seems quite simple:
if (!$j2wp_url_change_patterns) return $post_content;

Had 504 errors then and restarted PHP. Everything seems fine now.

I m solved this problem

Please look at this link

When I migrate the joomla to wordpress then I found this error “Unknown column ‘section’ in ‘where clause’
Found 0 Categories…”
Plz help me..i have to complete this ASAP. If anybody know that issues

please get the latest version of the plugin – the error should be resolved

I used the latest version and have the same problem:
Joomla 1.5.26 and Migrator 1.7.1

The solution from sdhabertv doesn’t work:
If I delete line 1617 to 1633, I get a php error
If I delete line 1620 to 1636, no error, but:

found 10 posts….

To Loewenherz, bethosuch and MasterScript:

In file joomla2wp-mig.php on line 1624 change code from:
if ( count($j2wp_url_change_patterns) )

to:
if ( count($j2wp_url_change_patterns) AND is_array($j2wp_url_change_patterns) )

This will solve the problem.
