 *     ```
       Warning: array_keys(): The first argument should be an array in /home/hostac/public_html/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 686

       ```
   
 * After getting to my database found a key on wp-options badly slashed,….
 * `INSERT INTO`wp_options`SET`option_id`='68',`blog_id`='0',`option_name`='widget_categories',`
   option_value`= ....`
 * its like the value has got over a zillion slashes,…. so someplace someone has
   forgot to add stripslashes!
 * i even corrected the above in the database, replacing all slashes [7Mb worth 
   of one line] with single slashes all over, but still have this problem,
 * Please help!

 * no,…. i dug inside my database, and deleted the value given,… im still getting
   the error, and no GUI

    as everytime i 
   try to access my admin page, an error is logged in error_log file …. the error
   line is huge,…. copying the starting of things here
