 * Firs of al thanks for this great plugin that gave me possibilities i was missing.
 * After updating my website i run in to this issue of warning showing on the frontend
   of my site in my projects where i use your plugin.
 * Warning : Illegal string offset ‘url’ in
    … /wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/
   base/controls-stack.php on line 1201
 * I rolled back to Version 2.1.0 and the warning disappears.
 * It shows me this warning for each update (of your plugin) after version 2.1.0,
   but i would love to be able to update your plugin (and having it up-to-date) 
   instead of finding a workaround and deleting it.
 * all my other plugins are up-to-date.
    I´ve also seen this warning after a google-
   search and it´s shown on various other pages, so i wonder if they also use this
   plugin.
 * Any advice or solution to this warning would be a great help.
 * Thanks in advance

 * I deactivated each separately and the conflict shows up just when the “Happy 
   Elementor Addons” is activated.

 * The Following widgets are used in the Loop:
 * Featured Image
    Image Carousel (Dynamic Tags “Post Image Attachement”) Post Title
   Post Excerpts Post Info Icon
 * I do not use any “Happy Elementor Addons” Widgets in the Loop.
 * I don´t know how i can/am allowed to reach out to you and perhaps send login-
   credentials and if that would/could help you to narrow down possibilities!?!
 * tnx a lot in advance

 * It is not allowed we can get even banned for this kind of stuff. But you can 
   leave the error so I can inspect it once again.

 * Thanks a lot for the advise – now i know what definitely not to do!
 * I´ve activated all my plugins again and also updated your plugin to the latest
   version (2.2.2) again, so that the error occurs again
 * It would be kind if it could be inspected, so i could get rid of the error asap.

 * You are using a plugin to make it linkable: when I inspect element I see:
 * `data-ha-element-link="link"`
 * I think this is the culprit.

 * Hi [@dudaster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dudaster/) ,
    sorry for being
   back so late and letting you wait.
 * After looking into that again I´ve to admit that i do use “Happy Elementor Addons”
   in the loop. Very very sorry for that false information!
 * I use it in the loop to make the elements in it clickable and linked to the post.
   
   It´called “Wrapper Link” and i do use the “dynamic tag” to link to the “Post 
   URL”

 * This…
    I’m having the same error, wrapper link -> dynamic -> post url causes 
   this. Any possible fix?

 * I too am using the “Wrapper Link” and use a “Dynamic Tag” to the “Post URL”.
   
   I’m using it on a column and am receiving the same error.
 * Has a solution been found for this error yet?
