This issue is with OptimizePress version 1. Unfortunately they are no longer supporting it, but Josh told me how to edit their file so it now works flawlessly.

Your cPanel may have a default program for code editing. 6) Browse to around line numbers 115 and 116; and look for the following piece of code: * ``` apply_filters( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'nice_mce_options' ); apply_filters( 'teeny_mce_before_init', 'nice_mce_options' ); ``` * 7) CHANGE those lines of code to the following: * ``` add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'nice_mce_options' ); add_filter( 'teeny_mce_before_init', 'nice_mce_options' ); ``` * 8) Save the changes. * Now, the warnings should be gone. * Plugin Author [Josh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/josh401/) * (@josh401) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/illegal-string-offset-16/#post-6175515) * Okay; I’m going to mark this topic as “resolved”. * Please let me know if any of you still experience any issues after making the code adjustment above.
