They are a high-traffic site and I need to cut the clutter this plugin is causing. The site is running on PHP v5.4.4 (for local development) and PHP v5.3.27 (for the web server). The web server is running on Debian while the local is running on MAMP (Mac). I get the same number of errors for each in the logs and I also get another `Illegal string offset 'value' in [file path]/wp-content/plugins/ automatic-youtube-video-posts/core/parse.php on line 264` * Any help will be appreciated! * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/illegal-string-offset-php-54/#post-3789077) * **[@morisu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morisu/)**: If you require assistance then, as per the [Forum Welcome](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Where_To_Post), please post your own topic. * [Morisu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morisu/) * (@morisu) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/illegal-string-offset-php-54/#post-3789078) * Sorry about that, I have done so. Thank you. * [DVDfever](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dvdfever/) * (@dvdfever) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/illegal-string-offset-php-54/#post-3789100) * No-one solved the problem, though. If we’re all having the same problem (me included), surely it’s better to keep it in the same thread? * [stadulis66](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stadulis66/) * (@stadulis66) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/illegal-string-offset-php-54/#post-3789109) * Hi has anybody solved this problem? The web is littered with the errors of you do a search, including some of my AB Testing abtesting.runtimetv.com/‎ Warning: Illegal string offset ‘value’ in /home/runtime/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ automatic-youtube-video-posts/class/xml.php on line 362. Warning: Illegal …sites! * I am sure a fix must be in the cards? * [walpap](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walpap/) * (@walpap) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/illegal-string-offset-php-54/#post-3789111) * The same is happening to me, and after reloading the page it appears ok. I think the problem relies on the PSEUDO CRON JOBS the plugin has where it asks you to set how many hours to wait until get the videos automatically from the channel or playlist. Every time someone visits the site after “x” hours, the plugin tries to import new videos. Then the error appears. But after reloading the page evererything works well. * But maybe im wrong. * The author of the plugin should answer please.
