Title: [Plugin: SexyBookmarks] Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: SexyBookmarks] Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string * [valandilearfalas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valandilearfalas/) * (@valandilearfalas) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sexybookmarks-warning-strpos-functionstrpos-offset-not-contained-in-string/) * Hi there, * First of all, let me just say this is an awesome plugin. I’ve been using it for a while but recently ran into a snag. * I am receiving this error: * Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string in /home/ b-web/b7/fb/australiancreditcards.com.au/public/www/wp-content/plugins/sexybookmarks/ includes/public.php on line 651 * Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string in /home/ b-web/b7/fb/australiancreditcards.com.au/public/www/wp-content/plugins/sexybookmarks/ includes/public.php on line 194 * And it’s apparently quite common, judging from a Google search. * I’ve manually called sexybookmarks in a custom category page. Strangely though, some custom category pages are fine, while others display those errors. * You can see an example of the error here: [http://www.australiancreditcards.com…](http://www.australiancreditcards.com…);. * Thanks!

And yes, I was running the latest version. * Plugin Author [Shareaholic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shareaholic/) * (@shareaholic) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sexybookmarks-warning-strpos-functionstrpos-offset-not-contained-in-string/#post-1920927) * Can you try beta mode? * [Jive Dig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jive-dig/) * (@jive-dig) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sexybookmarks-warning-strpos-functionstrpos-offset-not-contained-in-string/#post-1920932) * Any luck getting shareaholic on your category pages?

Strange. I upgraded to the latest version, 3.3.6, still the same. * Plugin Author [Shareaholic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shareaholic/) * (@shareaholic) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sexybookmarks-warning-strpos-functionstrpos-offset-not-contained-in-string/#post-1920938) * After you 777ed the spritegen folder and all folders within it, did you try to re-save your settings? * Then after you re-saved your settings, were there .js/.css/.png files in the / spritegen folder? * [bmwau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bmwau/) * (@bmwau) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sexybookmarks-warning-strpos-functionstrpos-offset-not-contained-in-string/#post-1920956) * Hello, * I’m having a similar problem with a new WP 3.1 build, which includes BuddyPress. * Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string in /home/ egreen/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sexybookmarks/includes/public.php on line 209 * This looks like it relates to permalink setup for RSS feed links. * What is the fix for this one? * I’ve chmod’d all directories spritegen to 777; I’ve also chmoded all php scripts in includes/ to 777 so they are all executable, as I had that separate error issue with those. * I kept the individual graphics files in those directories as 666, so they are writeable by the plugin scripts. * [enderandrew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/enderandrew/) * (@enderandrew) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sexybookmarks-warning-strpos-functionstrpos-offset-not-contained-in-string/#post-1920959) * I’m in the exact same boat as bmwau. * [Thought Police](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tpifiction/) * (@tpifiction) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sexybookmarks-warning-strpos-functionstrpos-offset-not-contained-in-string/#post-1920977) * I wrote about [a fix for the _offset not contained in string_ error](http://arthurslegacy.com/blog/2011/05/21/fix-the-sexybookmarks-offset-not-contained-in-string/). * The short version is pull out the following from the line of code throwing the error: * `, strlen($r['feed_permalink']) - 4` * [Thought Police](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tpifiction/) * (@tpifiction) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-sexybookmarks-warning-strpos-functionstrpos-offset-not-contained-in-string/#post-1920978) * Oops, messed up that link.
