 * Hi,
 * I put the shortcode in a page to display the upcoming events but when I checked
   the page there are these errors.
 * Warning: Illegal string offset ‘category’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\hwm\wordpress\wp-
   content\plugins\event-geek\core\gg-shortcodes.php on line 67

 * Any idea how I can correct this?
 * Fantastic plugin btw! I really hope I will be able to use this for my site.
 * Thanks!

 * Hmm, I haven’t tried to use this plugin on an xampp install. I’ll have to see
   if I can replicate the error. Did you put any attributes in the shortcode? like[
   event_geek_list category=”something”] ?

 * Nope, just
    [event_geek_list]
 * if i use php echo in the template then there is no problem.

 * I will have to try it out on xampp this weekend to see if I can replicate the
   error, and get to the root of the issue.

 * If found the issue. Just some obscure php issue. It will be corrected with the
   next update.
