 * I mentioned this here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-warning-illegal-string-offset-please-fix/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-warning-illegal-string-offset-please-fix/)
 * I also sent in an “official” support ticket. They seem to be aware, but also 
   don’t seem to care.

 * [@freshyjon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/freshyjon/) even i tried that.
   they simply mentioned to ignore it. When i asked them that this increases the
   log lines to read everyday they still said to ignore. lol

 * Hi:
 * I am suffering from the same problem. I have emailed [support@aftership.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-php-warning-illegal-string-offset-custom_tracking_provider/support@aftership.com?output_format=md).
   They have been good about answering me in the past….
 * Thanks!

 * [@tomkirk23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomkirk23/) did you happen to
   get a solution? I am a bit pissed reading these lines in my logs every day.

 * Hi: I am trying to push them. Unfortunately, the latest response (just a few 
   days ago) was “We have checked with our development team and these are just normal
   php warnings. They will not harm your system. You can ignore them.”
 * To which I responded:
    “Hi: No, they are not normal php messages. They point 
   directly to problems in the php code that have remained unfixed for months. I
   would be happy to point your programmers to the particular section of code where
   the problem lies. Let me know if I can help…”
 * I suggest emailing the same [support@aftership.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-php-warning-illegal-string-offset-custom_tracking_provider/support@aftership.com?output_format=md)
   email account, perhaps more noise will nudge them in the right direction.
 * Thanks!
