 * WP 4.7.2
    Ad Inserter 2.1.0 PHP 7.1.1
 * In the process of moving to PHP 7.1 but found these warnings on my local dev 
   server.
 * Warning: Illegal string offset ‘REMOTE_DEBUGGING’ in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/
   htdocs/CROSS/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ad-inserter/ad-inserter.php on line

 * However Plugin appears to be ok on PHP 7.0.9.
 * Realise it may be early days for PHP 7.1.1 but wondered if you were aware of 
   any issues?
 * Thanks

 * Just to add these warnings display at the top of the page and no other page content
   is displayed to the user.
 * However, when logged in to WP the errors still show at the top again but the 
   rest of the page is displayed as normal.

 * Hi Igor
 * Appears to do this on the initial install of ad-inserter for PHP 7.1
 * I found if after install you continue to the plugin settings -> Ad insert Settings-
   > Debugging
    Then check either of the check boxes and save settings. The warnings
   then disappear. You can change the two checkboxes back to whatever you need –
   saving the settings once seems to clear the warnings.
 * Cheers

 * This will be fixed in the next version.
 * Thanks for bug report.
