 * I installed a wordpress theme and I got this warning:
 * **_Warning: Illegal string offset ‘name’ in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\wp2\wp-content\themes\
   lexiity\inc\theme-settings.php on line 12_**
 * This is line 12:
 * `if(@$r3['value'] != '' && strlen($r3['name']) != 1 && $r3['type'] != 'select'&&
   $r3['type'] != 'radio' && $r3['type'] != 'checkbox'){`
 * This is the entire function:
 * `function populate_theme_options(){ GLOBAL $tabs,$wp_version; $pages = @get_all_pages();
   foreach ($tabs as $r1) { foreach ($r1 as $r2) { if (count($r2) > 0) { foreach((
   array)$r2 as $r3) { if(@$r3['value'] != '' && strlen($r3['name']) != 1 && $r3['
   type'] != 'select' && $r3['type'] != 'radio' && $r3['type'] != 'checkbox'){ if(
   version_compare( $wp_version, '3.4', '>=' ) ) {update_option(wp_get_theme().'_'.
   $r1['id'].'_'.$r3['name'], $r3['value']);}else{update_option(get_current_theme().'_'.
   $r1['id'].'_'.$r3['name'], $r3['value']);} } } } } } }`
 * Here is all the code in this php file:

 * How to remove this warning?
