 * I have the same error, but on line 1489. And, when I deactivate the plugin, it
   goes away.

 * Same
    Now = “PHP Warning: Illegal string offset ‘filter’ in /home/XXXXXX/public_html/
   wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 1489”
 * Presumably it was upgraded
 * Do we have a fix guys ?
    Happy to add it in before next release Just want unnecessary
   error.log entries to go away so I can stop getting alerted to file size changes
   on the account every X hours
