# Error – Expecting String. Got: (WAMP)

 * This looks like a great plugin, so we tried testing it offline using WAMP. The
   plugin installed without error. During plugin set-up we received the error below
   when clicking on the add new shortcode tab, entering text in the box and clicking
   save. Then anytime we click on the plugin in the WP Admin thereafter, we get 
   the same error.
 * Nothing seems to be wrong on the outward facing website, but we can’t get the
   plugin configured. We have tried uninstalling, restoring the database and reinstalling
   the plugin with the same results. The error persists when we deactivate and reactivate
   the plugin as well.
 * ERROR
 * Expected string. Got:
 * Error Location:
    Function: ABDWPSM_Section::set_display_name() File: C:\——–\wp-
   content\plugins\ad-blocking-detector\includes\wpsm\section.php Line #: 378
