 * Hi, I love your plugin, it’s just what I was looking for. However, I’m getting
   an error message “Warning: Illegal string offset ‘styles’ in /home/indianla/public_html/
   dev/wp-content/plugins/citationic/citationic.php on line 86”

 * Hi, I also love the plugin. But I am also getting the same error message when
   I switched to the latest version of php:
 * Warning: Illegal string offset ‘styles’ in /homepages/20/d318657341/htdocs/askanaturalist/
   wp-content/plugins/citationic/citationic.php on line 86
 * After googling a bit, I changed this line
 * $styles_user = array_intersect(explode(‘,’,$atts[‘styles’]),$styles_list);
 * To this:
 * $styles_user = array_intersect(explode(‘,’,$atts),$styles_list);
 * And now, it seems to be working without that warning.
