 * cat-posts.php line 255 error due to the following:
 * `wp_get_attachment_metadata($post_thumbnail_id, $size)['file']`
 * Suggest this can be easily fixed with the following:
 *     ```
       if ( empty( $meta ))	{
        $attachment_metadata = wp_get_attachment_metadata($post_thumbnail_id, $size);
        $meta['file'] = basename( $attachment_metadata['file'] );
       }
       ```

 * Hi Steve, Thanks for your suggestion.
 * Do you mind telling us what exactly is the error you got? was it because of the[‘
   file’] index?

 * Hello Stevek2,

   setted for dimention width and height in the widget.
