# Error Log: Illegal string offset in plugin.php

 * I have a HUGE php error log file with mostly this error message:
 * **PHP Warning: Illegal string offset ‘function’ in […]/wp-includes/plugin.php
   on line 233**
 * Is a specific plugin causing this error? If so, how can I find out which? I know
   about turning off all plugins and reactivate one after another. But since I have
   a lot of plugins running and the error message appears very erratic I´m afraid
   of turning them off. Is there another way to find out more about that error massage?

 * Hello,drebin,& welcome to the wordpress support forum.
 * You could try opening your wp-config.php file & changing wp-debug from false 
   to true. Then log into your dashboard & see if any errors are thrown. Please 
   change it back ASAP, though,because this is a significant security risk.
