 * I added your plugin on a clean install of WP running the 2016 theme and got the
   following error message:
 * Warning: Illegal string offset ‘variable’ in /home/pluspusgoog/public_html/wp-
   content/plugins/get-custom-content/gcc.php on line 82
 * The plugin still worked but the error message stays on the screen.
 * I also have a question about using the plugin. On your website you state the 
   following which I don’t understand.
 * With your plugin you use the [bg_gcc variable=”variableName”] shortcode which
   is dynamically replaced. But on your website mentions using the following format:
 *     ```
       -value-NameOfValue
       Display this content instead!
       -value-NameOfValue
       ```
   
 * What does this format do? I tried it and can’t get it to work.
 * Last, I followed your instructions on **How can I insert the URL’s query variable
   value into my site?** but I can’t get that to work either.
 * Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
