# Error: “Warning: Illegal string offset ‘theme'”

 * Hello —
    I am trying to use the plugin, which I installed today. I believe that
   I have correctly directed the plugin to load posts tagged “news” on the site.
   I followed the directions, but when I set it up and run it, no images or posts
   display. Instead however, this error appears:
 * Warning: Illegal string offset ‘theme’ in /home/wp_ggxm3e/remi.com/wp-content/
   plugins/wp-latest-posts/inc/wp-fpn-front.inc.php on line 48
    No content has been
   found here, sorry 🙂
 * I know that someone else on this forum had a similar problem, but no resolution
   was offered. I would appreciate any help you can offer!
 * Thank you!

 * Absolutely:
 * Here is the link to a test page where we ran the script: [http://www.remi.com/etest](http://www.remi.com/etest)
 * I selected a category (news) which is used to tag all of our news update.
 * Here are the screenshots you requested:

 * I have had to remove the widget version that we were attempting to use, as the
   error message was popping up on all pages and our website is live. To show another
   aspect of the issue we are having, I have added the plug-in to a post on the 
   page. Although the warning text disappears in this configuration, the problems
   continue.
 * Thanks!

 * OK if I understand well: The news are loading properly when you add a news block
   in a post (using the editor button) but on the other hand, when it’s called as
   a widget, you got this warning and the news are not loaded properly.
 * Am I correct?
