 * I am loving this Related Posts plugin, having moved across from Nrelate recently.
 * However it is causing a lot of ‘illegal string offset’ errors to appear in my
   error_log file. For example:
 * [03-Mar-2015 06:26:25 UTC] PHP Warning: Illegal string offset ‘width’ in /home2/
   cathedra/public_html/wp-content/plugins/related-posts-by-zemanta/thumbnailer.
   php on line 274
    [03-Mar-2015 06:26:25 UTC] PHP Warning: Illegal string offset‘
   height’ in /home2/cathedra/public_html/wp-content/plugins/related-posts-by-zemanta/
   thumbnailer.php on line 279
 * This has only been occurring since the site moved to PHP 5.5.
 * Are these errors indicative of a bigger problem? And how do I resolve this?
 * Thanks
    James
