   Hi all,
   I have made some changes to my options menu in dashboard and now my sidebar widgets are all screwed up.
   It shows the following error message:
   (www.cafefernando.com)

   Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/cafeson6/public_html/wp-content/plugins/widgets/widgets.php on line 829

   I checked the line and it has the following code:

   $title = $options[$number]['title'];

   Please help.

   Geeez ... this guy posted 3 months ago and got no reply. Am I outta luck?

   V2.3.1, Acitivating SideBar Widgets produces the following:

   "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error."

   Error text is as follows:
   "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare register_sidebars() (previously declared in [correct directories here]/blog/wp-includes/widgets.php:15) in [correct directories here]/wp-content/plugins/widgets/widgets.php on line 42"

   Everything has been working fine, but I want to install MyBlogLog widget ... which requires that this be activated ...

   'Sup?

   You shouldn't need the sidebar widgets plugin in any recent version of WP--it's become part of the core WP code.

   Hence the error--you're trying to redeclare functions that have been declared already.

   I have the same error without using a sidebar widget plugin.

   I upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3.2 and got this error

   @john:

   You've probably worked this out by now, but I was going looking through my profile and saw that you had responded.

   If you are having exactly the same error, then I guarantee you that you have the sidebar widget plugin installed. Read the text of the error (note the boldface part):

   Fatal error: Cannot redeclare register_sidebars() (previously declared in [correct directories here]/blog/wp-includes/widgets.php:15) in [correct directories here]/wp-content/plugins/widgets/widgets.php on line 42

   Mu problem was fixed by deleting

   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
   define('DB_COLLATE', '');

   in wp-config.php
