 * I’m trying to debug an error I am getting with postie when used on a old theme:
   
   fetch_mail: WpOrg\Requests\Transport\Curl::request(): Argument #3 ($data) must
   be of type array|string, boolean given
 * If works fine on later themes but I’m stuck with this one for now so
   any help
   as to where to look would be appreciated. I do code in php… etc.

 * It is already set on sockets so I’m not sure why it would be using Curl!
 * It sounds like some configuration mess up in my setup. I’ve another website on
   the same host that uses your plugin and that works fine.
 * Tried removing and reinstalling no luck. I also cleared a table entry in the 
   DB and reconfigured everything from scratch but it made no difference.
 * 
   Tried switching it to Curl and it sort of processed an email but the contents
   of the email weren’t posted. and it replied curl: curl: curl: curl:

 * Looking at the error message again it seems like the theme is adding a Curl library
   and maybe overriding the standard sockets. You may have to talk to the theme 
   author.
