 * With update on 12/15 I’m now getting the following message
 * Warning: Illegal string offset ‘taxonomy’ in /home4/mskretzs/public_html/wp-content/
   plugins/cpt-onomies/manager.php on line 318
 * [http://diycollegerankings.com/college-search-resources-2/](http://diycollegerankings.com/college-search-resources-2/)
 * Everything still seems to be working. I’m just getting the message on pages where
   I have custom pages.

 * I am getting the same warning message after upgrading to 4.1. Seems something
   is amiss with changes in WordPress 4.1 and CPT-onomies.

 * I’m trying to recreate this error but am having no luck. Can you share with me
   what your query looks like on the pages that are throwing the error?
 * Thanks!

 * I’ve fixed it. An update should be out soon.
 * In the manager file, find line 318 and replace:
 *     ```
       $taxonomy = $this_query[ 'taxonomy' ];
   
       if ( ! taxonomy_exists( $taxonomy )  )
          continue;
       ```
   
 * with:
 *     ```
       // Get the taxonomy
       $taxonomy = isset( $this_query[ 'taxonomy' ] ) ? $this_query[ 'taxonomy' ] : NULL;
   
       // Make sure the taxonomy exists
       if ( ! $taxonomy || ! taxonomy_exists( $taxonomy ) )
          continue;
       ```

 * I just pushed out an update that hopefully fixes this for you. If you’re still
   having this issue after you upgrade to version 1.3.2, please let me know.
 * Thanks!
