 * After upgrading from PHP 7.4 to 8.1, a few pages on our site now crash with this
   error in the log:
 * 16 {main}
   thrown in /home/rv39cs3t/public_html/engole.info/wp-content/plugins/
   zotpress/lib/shortcode/shortcode.functions.php on line 597[19-Jun-2023 17:42:
   43 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: count(): Argument #1 ($value) must
   be of type Countable|array, null given in /home/rv39cs3t/public_html/engole.info/
   wp-content/plugins/zotpress/lib/shortcode/shortcode.functions.php:597

 * I have to hold my hand up and say that after looking into this issue more deeply,
   it was caused by my error in the parameter that I passed to Zotpress.
   I do think
   though that it would be a good idea to check whether a parameter/variable is 
   countable or not before trying to count it.
