 * Hi, I’m having the exact same problem when trying to exclude categories from 
   the sidebar, though I realise I’m working in 3.8 and the plugin is only upto 
   3.6.1
    WordPress 3.8 Simply exclude 2.0.6.1

 * I have exact same problem with Simply exclude Versio 2.0.6.1 and WP 3.8.1. Error
   is “Illegal string offset ‘action’ in …/simplyexclude.php on line 2364”
 * This error appears only in sidebar “Categories”. Debug did not output anything
   else on it.

 * Apologies all. I thought I had sent the beta out. Please try this beta. See if
   the warning goes away. Thanks.
