Updated to 4.6 this morning on a site with EM 5.6.5 and was greeted with this site crippling message:

Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/XXXX/public_html/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/em-posts.php on line 30

Taking a look at em-posts.php, here’s the relevant context for line 30:

if( is_array($_wp_theme_features['post-thumbnails']) ){
    $post_thumbnails = array_shift($_wp_theme_features['post-thumbnails']);
    //add to featured image post types for specific themes
    $post_thumbnails[] = EM_POST_TYPE_EVENT; #30
    $post_thumbnails[] = 'event-recurring';
    $post_thumbnails[] = EM_POST_TYPE_LOCATION;
    add_theme_support('post-thumbnails', $post_thumbnails);
}

What seems to be happening, and your error @tony marray, is that what is happening is it’s using the existing global value of $_wp_theme_features['post-thumbnails'] and retriving the known array of post types with thumbnails. To get mine working and speed it up a bit I changed it so $post_thumbnails is just a new array to add even managers post types, don’t need to worry about other’s at all:

if( is_array($_wp_theme_features['post-thumbnails']) ){
    $post_thumbnails = array();
    //add to featured image post types for specific themes
    $post_thumbnails[] = EM_POST_TYPE_EVENT; #30
    $post_thumbnails[] = 'event-recurring';
    $post_thumbnails[] = EM_POST_TYPE_LOCATION;
    add_theme_support('post-thumbnails', $post_thumbnails);
}

No errors, all post thumbnail widgets are loading. Thoughts?
