error message when change theme

  • hi there,

    i am trying to use the theme Cutline 3-Column Right 1.1 by Chris Pearson on my fresh version 2.3.1 install.

    However i get the following error message at the top of the screen when i activate it:

    Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 53

    Any idea how to resolve this?

    Thanks!!

    boy-o-boy, there are a lot of posts on this forum! i found a post from someone with the same problem that got buried and never answered. please don’t let that happen to me! ??

    anyone know how to fix this? or at least what caused it?

    well, google to the rescue, finally. i figured it out myself, so as a service to all those that may follow, here is how you fix the problem.

    on line 53, you have to add “(array)” as follows in that line:

    $sidebar = array_merge($defaults, (array)$args);

    fwiw, i used the theme above, but also the plugin viper’s video quick tags, which seems to have been affected, and may have caused the problem. i dunno… anyhow hope this helps you, future person.

    Line 53 of widgets.php in my system is a brace, and array-merge does not appear as a string in that file? Where did you make this edit?

    Thanks.

    from the future – thank you. same theme, same extension, same problem, and it just popped up overnight with no apparent cause. this fixed it. thanks for posting the solution.
