PHP Warning

  • File list-posts-alphabetically.php is incorrectly handling a variable, and it’s throwing a PHP Warning and creating very large error logs. Three errors on each pass:

    Illegal string offset 'category' in /home/AccountName/public_html/wp-content/plugins/list-posts-alphabetically/list-posts-alphabetically.php on line 19
Cannot assign an empty string to a string offset in /home/AccountName/public_html/wp-content/plugins/list-posts-alphabetically/list-posts-alphabetically.php on line 19
Illegal string offset 'category' in /home/AccountName/public_html/wp-content/plugins/list-posts-alphabetically/list-posts-alphabetically.php on line 24

    Here is the code causing the warning:

    function lpa_az_func( $lpa_az_atts ) {
	var_dump($lpa_az_atts);
	die("<BR><BR>X".$lpa_az_atts."Y");
    $lpa_az_a = shortcode_atts( array(
        'category' => '',
    ), $lpa_az_atts );

if (!isset($lpa_az_atts['category'])) {
	$lpa_az_atts['category'] = '';
}

$lpa_az_args = array(
  'numberposts' => 1000,
  'category_name'  => $lpa_az_atts['category'],
  'orderby' => 'title',
  'order' => 'ASC'
);

    The problem is that $lpa_az_atts is being treated as an array, but it is merely a string variable.

    Any chance this will be fixed in an upcoming update?
