Title: Strange Warnings Last modified: August 30, 2017 --- # Strange Warnings * Resolved [indienaustausch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/indienaustausch/) * (@indienaustausch) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-warnings-2/) * The plugin was and is working fine but since several weeks I get strange warnings when I visit my site. These warnings start like: * _Warning Illegal string offset ‘id’ in /var/www/l26f451/html/indienblog/wp-content/ plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php on line 1726 Warning array\_key\_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given in /var/www/l26f451/html/indienblog/wp-content/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail- generator/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php on line 1763 Warning Illegal string offset “url” in /var/www/l26f451/html/indienblog/wp-content/plugins/video-embed- thumbnail-generator/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php on line 1774 * After seconds the lines vanish and the start screen pops up like expected. What went wrong? If I look up my blog on some search engines I get these warnings instead of the site descriptions. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fstrange-warnings-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [Kyle Gilman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kylegilman/) * (@kylegilman) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-warnings-2/#post-9455172) * Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It’s a bug caused by an unexpected return from your site, most likely related to the AJAX loading effect. I’ll fix this ASAP. I’ve created [an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/kylegilman/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/issues/386) so you can track my progress with it. * [marcfuller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcfuller/) * (@marcfuller) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-warnings-2/#post-9610462) * Hello Kyle! Great plugin! * I appreciate your interest in the issue and your efforts towards updating to resolve it. * My site also appears to have the same issue, or very similar. The video appears with thumbnail and plays correctly, but the warnings are disconcerting. * Site is using WordPress 4.8.2, PHP Version : 7.1.10 / 64Bit OS, Memory limit : 192 MB and is based on a tested StudioPress Genesis theme. * There is no pop-up on the page, just the plain embed below. * [KGVID width=”800″ height=”450″]https://astepupsedona.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2017/07/a-step-up-fine-footwear-sedona.mp4[/KGVID] * Below are my warnings. They do not vanish and are present as long as the page is presented. * Warning: Illegal string offset ‘id’ in /home/astepupsedona/public_html/wp-content/ plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php on line 1726 * Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given in / home/astepupsedona/public_html/wp-content/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/ video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php on line 1763 * Warning: Illegal string offset ‘url’ in /home/astepupsedona/public_html/wp-content/ plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/video-embed-thumbnail-generator.php on line 1774 * [marcfuller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marcfuller/) * (@marcfuller) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-warnings-2/#post-9610495) * I downloaded the updated file from the GitHub and uploaded into the plugin on the site. The problem of the warnings is resolved. * Thank you, very much. * Plugin Author [Kyle Gilman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kylegilman/) * (@kylegilman) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-warnings-2/#post-9645109) * I just released version 4.6.18, which should solve this problem. Please let me know if it doesn’t. * Thread Starter [indienaustausch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/indienaustausch/) * (@indienaustausch) * [8 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-warnings-2/#post-9645251) * Thanks for the help.
