 * I had the same problem, just seemed to fix it. I am not sure which action fixed
   it, but I did 2 things:
 * 1. Updated all the WooCommerce plugins
    2. I went in and erased the “$” in my
   title, because I thought maybe it was causing the issue, then when I scrolled
   down, where the errors used to be listed, I was able to name the free shipping
   class – where it previously was automatically naming it “illegal string offset”.
 * Now everything works perfectly. Hope you get your site working properly! And 
   maybe support will weigh in on this at some point to confirm what the issue was.

 * Hi
 * In the shipping settings you can remove those texts from the settings fields 
   and it will save property and remove those errors. Its something I forgot with
   the last update – but will be in the next update to be fixed.
 * Cheers,

 * Hi.
 * I have come across an error since I updated my website. It’s now running on WP
   5.0.5 with Woocommerce version 3.5.3, and Woocommerce Advanced Shipping version
   1.0.9. I now see the following error in my debug log:
 * [20-Jan-2019 17:10:01 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: [] operator not supported
   for strings in wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-advanced-shipping/includes/class-
   was-method.php:93
 * It results in the checkout and product pages breaking unless I deacxtivate the
   Advanced Shipping plugin. Please can you let me know if there is a fix for this
   problem?
 * Kindest regards,
 * Phil.

 * Hi Phil,
 * The plugin you’re referring to is the Advanced Shipping plugin, which is not 
   the same as this one.
 * You’d want to get in touch through the support form for that plugin: [http://jeroensormani.com/woocommerce-advanced-shipping/support](http://jeroensormani.com/woocommerce-advanced-shipping/support)
 * Cheers,
    Jeroen
