 * Any idea why I am getting this error multiple times:
    PHP Notice: Trying to access
   array offset on value of type bool in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\xxxx\httpdocs\wp-content\
   plugins\user-submitted-posts\library\core-functions.php on line 84

 * Glad to help. That is not an “error”, it is a “notice” just fyi.
 * Looking at the mentioned line of code, it looks like there is a problem with 
   the configuration of the following setting:
 * Auto-Display Content > Image Markup
 * Specifically, the notice refers to `%%thumb%%`, which is a shortcode for the 
   thumbnail-size version of the image. It sounds like maybe the thumbnail size 
   does not exist for some reason.
 * You can verify this with a quick test: replace the “Image Markup” setting with
   just something static like `<img src="https://example.com/image.jpg">`. Then 
   save changes and try again; the PHP notice should stop.

 * Thanks for the reply which is correct.
    I now see that I changed the post to 
   include a video (not sure now how I did that!) so there is no thumbnail. Is there
   any way to create one?

 * Yes it’s provided by WordPress itself. Exactly “how” it’s added depends on whether
   you are using the Gutenberg Block Editor, or the Classic Editor when editing/
   writing posts. For Gutenberg, check out this [post](https://www.greengeeks.com/tutorials/add-a-cover-image-or-a-featured-image-in-wordpress-gutenberg-block-editor/).
   For Classic Editor, just click on “Set featured image” in the “Featured Image”
   meta box on the “Edit” screen for any post.
 * I hope this helps. Let me know if I can provide any further infos, glad to help
   anytime.

 * Thanks for your advice.
    This is a bit of a strange one as the featured image
   is appearing as the second thumbnail, the first thumbnail is the one causing 
   the file error. I think the first thumbnail is trying to use a thumbnail of a
   video I added to the post in the editor. You can it here: [https://www.ccrc.co.uk/public-forum/](https://www.ccrc.co.uk/public-forum/)
   and scroll down towards the bottom. I would probably not have spotted the error
   except having changed the site’s theme I am working through various bugs which
   have arisen.

 * A further thought, maybe it is not User Submitted posts causing the error but
   the plugin used to display the posts?

 * Yeah maybe, would be worth checking out.

 * Checked and it is User Submitted Fields. I would like to change which photos 
   are shown for this post but cannot find how to do this. I note in another thread
   you describe the images as being custom fields. Is there any way to modify these
   once the post is published as I cannot see how to do so.

 * Yes, all custom fields can be accessed and if needed modified via the “Custom
   Fields” meta box. If using the Gutenberg Block Editor, you can visit Options 
   > Preferences > Panels, and then check the box to display the custom fields. 
   Note that this is for the current version of WordPress and is subject to change.

 * This is getting more weird by the minute!
    I have now deleted the one image reference
   from the custom fields but the image that works still appears and the image that
   doesn’t appear but has a broken link is also still there. I fear the data record
   is somehow corrupted and don’t want to do any more, so will live with the error.
   I’d recreate the whole post and backdate it but that would create an alert to
   members who will then wonder what is going on. Thanks for your help anyway.
