 * When i come to plugin search page, I get this warning
    Warning: Illegal string
   offset ‘name’ in /home/dollargreen/public_html/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.
   php on line 102
 * for lines 102- 106, which are commentaries, and done properly.
 * When i try searching, it doesn’t find any plugins. Any. At all.
    What could it
   be, and how do i fix it? Thank you

 * WooThemes Helper caused a major problem because of a problem in that plugin –
   contact them about how to fix it.

 * The problem may be related to WooThemes Helper. See [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-37?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-not-working-37?replies=2)

 * Yep. The search is working after deactivating the helper.
    What about the warnings,
   though? How do i get rid of them?

 * I don’t think you can. You may have to wait until Woo Themes releases an update
   to their Helper. However, the warnings should not stop your site from working
   effectively as far as I am aware.

 * I saw a thread someplace today that there was an update to that plugin – ask 
   them about it.
