PHP 7.0.14 to 7.1.1: operator not supported for strings

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’ll look into potential conflicts with PHP 7.1.1 and let you know when we’ve updated the plugin.

I fixed this with a kludge and I don’t know if I used the right method but the website seems to work again so temporary victory until a new version comes out.

This is near line 310 on ssp-functions.php

		if ( $include_podcast ) {
                        //Added this next line...
			$podcast_post_types = array();
			$podcast_post_types[] = 'podcast';
		}

This thread is specific to the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin. You should ask the authors of the revslider plugin for help. Since it appears to be a non-free plugin they claim to have “dedicated support” as part of the perks for the price of $25.

thanks for your help

Hi guys,

here is the global solution:

> https://xtemos.com/forums/topic/revolution-slider-error-crashes-admin-cp/

revslider file = base-admin.class.php
final after edit private static $arrMetaBoxes = array(); //option boxes that will be added to post

Thanks @juicydesign, that’s done the trick.
Just to make it extra clear for the non-techie. To fix the issue, you need to use an FTP client (or equivalent) to view your WordPress files on your web hosting. Open the plugins directory, usually under wp-content.

Go to ‘revslider/includes/framework/‘ and open base-admin.class.php
On line 21 change $arrMetaBoxes = ”; to $arrMetaBoxes = array();

Hi! Not sure if this is a “plugin/author” issue, or a WP issue or both, but I’m getting this error when I click on my Forums tab:

Any help would be enormously appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi, when is it scheduled to release a new version supporting php 7.1?

This issue appears to have been fixed with one of the 1.16 releases.

Hi I moved a site with hoxa template to another pc and I have the following code errors how can i fix it?

It’s not an issue with [] we can still use that, but you have to initialize it now.

$var1[] = $x results in error when not initialized.
$var1 = []; $var1[] = $x does not

So i changed the lines containing like:
$var1[] = $x
into
$var1 = []; $var1[] = $x

This apperantly does not do the trick PHP 7.1

Change line 21 in revslider/includes/framework/base-admin.class.php

from

private static $arrMetaBoxes = ”; //option boxes that will be added to post

to

private static $arrMetaBoxes = array(); //option boxes that will be added to post

I hope it helps other people!
