Simply exclude fatal error after update to WP 4.3

  • Dear Mr. Paul,
    After having the new WordPress 4.3 update, I had a fatal error coming from “Simply exclude” plugin.
    this error stop the blog completely; then I remove the plugin folder through host file manager to restore my site.
    but I would like to use that plugin again without error, and I have no idea about coding, but just I can play with some words in some files!!??
    Anybody can help me please to solve this errors; the message error are as follows:
    1- Warning: Illegal string offset ‘cfg’ in /public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/simply-exclude/simplyexclude.php on line 1218

    2- Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/simply-exclude/simplyexclude.php on line 1218
    now i’am using twentyelven with three menu child theme under wordpress 4.3
    i’already restored my site: https://blog.meristemegypt.com after removing the plugin
    but to see the problem in practical way I clone the site to another subdomain then install the plugin again and you can read the error message: https://testmodawana.meristemegypt.com

    @mokhtar-taha,

    So sorry to hear you have having issues. You are the first I’ve heard of any fatal errors. Can you advise what version of PHP you are running? I will look into the specific line item issue later this afternoon.

    P-

    @mokhtar-taha,

    Can I get you to please download and install the following plugin. This should replace the current version of Simply-Exclude you have installed.

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2616987/projects/wp-plugins/simply-exclude/beta/simply-exclude-2.0.6.7-BetaA.zip

    To be clear do the following:

    1. Log into your Dashboard (wp-admin).
    2. Go to Plugins listing.
    3. Deactivate the Simply Exclude plugin.
    4. When the page reloads click the ‘Delete’ option on the Simply Exclude plugin.
    5. Next to go Plugins > Add New. Then at the top look for the ‘Upload Plugin’ button. Click this.
    6. On the upload form select the Beta plugin I provided from your local system.

    This may or may not solve your issue. For some reason your system things the configuration array used by Simply Exclude is a string not an array. This means you may need to manually reset the plugin settings. At the moment there is not an option to do this. It would require a direct database option.

    I already installed the beta version of simply exclude, but unfortunately; I have the same error but with another lines (1221, 1222)
    look at this my test cloned blog:
    https://testmodawana.meristemegypt.com
    I already have my blog site working well at:
    https://blog.meristemegypt.com
    you know that the plugin was working well with WP vr. 4.2.4 but after update to 4.3 happened what happened.
    I’ll tell you about my host PHP version soon.
    thanks for everything Paul.

    Anyone has any idea how to fix it?

    Thank you

    @mokhtar-taha,

    Waiting to here about your PHP version. I’m not sure. The beta should fix that issue. Almost appears as though the option store for Simply-Exclude is corrupt or something. Might need to manually clear out the setting from your wp_options table. This is not currently something within SE.

    Sorry I was late to tell you about my cpanel PHP version.
    as I mentioned the beta version source that I’ve been tried doesn’t solve the problem now.
    my PHP version is PHP 5.4 (Native); but I can change it from my cpanel to be 5.4, also 5.5 is available but I don’t know if I can use it with no problem or not !! ok … lets do it.
    again, I would like to use that plugin because it was working without no coding or snipping.
    I still have my site working without simply exclude plugin; but other important pages waiting for.
    the working site is: https://blog.meristemegypt.com
    the cloned site with the original plugin version of simply exclude (with error in line 1218)is: https://testmodawana.meristemegypt.com
    thanks for every thing
