Conflict with SiteOrigin Panels Page Builder

I’m using the Toothpaaste theme which comes bundled with a widget called SiteOrigin Panels Page Builder

I encountered a couple of conflicts with the theme and this plugin as follows:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /wp-content/themes/toothpaste/extras/widgets/widgets.php on line 20 

Code:

19	if ( !empty( $panels_data['widgets'] ) ) {
20		foreach ( $panels_data['widgets'] as $widget ) {
21			$panel_widget_classes[ ] = $widget['info']['class'];
22		}
23	}

and

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in wp-content/plugins/siteorigin-panels/siteorigin-panels.php on line 389

389     foreach ( $panels_data['grids'] as $gi => $grid ) {
390		     $cell_count = intval( $grid['cells'] );
391		     for ( $i = 0; $i < $cell_count; $i++ ) {
392			     $cell = $panels_data['grid_cells'][$ci++];
393
394			     if ( $cell_count > 1 ) {
395				     $css_new = 'width:' . round( $cell['weight'] * 100, 3 ) . '%';
396				     if ( empty( $css[1920][$css_new] ) ) $css[1920][$css_new] = array();
397				     $css[1920][$css_new][] = '#pgc-' . $gi . '-' . $i;
398			     }
399		     }

To resolve, I disabled the Siteorigin Panels which eliminated the second conflict. The first conflict persisted so I simply commented out lines 19-23 in the first example.

I guess I can live without the panel widget (although it is useful) but can anyone provide a better solution to make everything happily co-exist?
