 * The plugin seems to be generating an error when used on a site trying to run 
   PHP 8.2
 * _PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on 
   string in /wp-content/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/includes/views/entry-metabox-
   content.php:19_

 * Also seeing the same issue on sites using this plugin with PHP 8.2. Is there 
   a fix in the works? Thanks!

 * Thank you for the report, [@vijustin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vijustin/),
   [@rameshmahala](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rameshmahala/) and [@hirejordansmith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hirejordansmith/),
   and sorry for this error!
 * We’d like to fix it but I can’t reproduce it with a fresh copy of Simple Sidebars
   on a new site so far.
 * If you have time, please could you share the response from this WP-CLI command?
 *     ```wp-block-code
       wp option get ss-settings
       ```
   
 * (If you don’t use WP-CLI, you can find the same value in your wp-options table
   under the `ss-settings` key.)
 * It sounds like the issue might be sidebars with a missing ‘name’, but I’d just
   like to confirm this before we create an update with a fix.

 * Version 2.2.3 is out now with a fix for this (and for another PHP deprecation
   notice — see the [changelog](https://github.com/studiopress/genesis-simple-sidebars/releases/tag/2.2.3)).
 * Thanks for your patience while we worked to solve this.
