# Illegal String Offset Error

 * Ever since a few weeks ago one of the site’s I’ve been working on has been experiencing
   this error. It shuts down the entire admin side of things and I have to manually
   delete the plugin file to get it to work again.
 * Here’s the exact error that WP gives me with debug activated:
 * Warning: Illegal string offset ‘recipients’ in /var/www/vhosts/violinoutlet.com/
   httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/strong-testimonials/admin/class-strong-testimonials-
   updater.php on line 514
 * Notice: Array to string conversion in /var/www/vhosts/violinoutlet.com/httpdocs/
   wp-content/plugins/strong-testimonials/admin/class-strong-testimonials-updater.
   php on line 514
 * Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Cannot unset string offsets in /var/www/vhosts/violinoutlet.

 * Please let me know what I can do to fix this. We use your plugin on a lot of 
   sites and this is the only one that has been giving us trouble. Thanks!

 * Hi [@starfiredev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/starfiredev/),
 * Thanks for reaching out to us!
    Unfortunately I am unable to replicate the same
   error on my end. Can you please go to Testimonials > settings > Form > and save?
   Does it fix it?
 * If it still does not, I recommend turning wp_debug back to false and you will
   no longer see those warnings.
 * Warmly,
    Mihaela
