 * When I upgraded our PHP version from 7.4 to 8.1 I now get the following error
   when going to my WordPress Admin Panel (Appearance -> Customize)
 * ——- Error message on browser——-
   Type Error thrownCannot access offset of type
   string on string———————————————This error message does not let me edit or change
   the Customize page which make the theme usable for me. Is there a fix for this
   to make it compatible with PHP 8.1 or higher

 * Hello [@firefocusuh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/firefocusuh/) ,
 * The Scholarship theme doesn’t have any issues while running the PHP 8.0+ version.
   So please check your plugin list which may occur an issue.
 * Thanks,
