 * Hello,
 * I recently got this error on the slider backend: Warning: count(): Parameter 
   must be an array or an object that implements Countable in C:\wamp64\www\bpwd\
   libraries\nextend2\nextend\library\libraries\form\tab.php on line 140
 * Furthermore, SS3 reports that CURL is not enabled but it is checked as enabled
   in the php extensions panel.
 * I hadn’t used SS3 in a while as I was happy with my slider, and in the meantime
   I updated php from 5.6.25 to 7.2.3 which I am guessing is causing this. The front
   end appears to be working fine, just not the tabs.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwarning-count-parameter%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@spartaq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spartaq/)!
 * That error message shows up on PHP7.2, because we couldn’t release a new version
   yet with the fixes for this PHP version. As I see you are using Joomla, not WordPress,
   so I uploaded the free Joomla installer here:
    [https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xb3fa99yfsttg9/nextend-smart-slider3-joomla.zip?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xb3fa99yfsttg9/nextend-smart-slider3-joomla.zip?dl=0)
   but if you would have the pro, please rather write to us to [support@nextendweb.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-count-parameter/support@nextendweb.com?output_format=md)
 * You can just simply install it as you did the first time:
    [https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/138-joomla-installation#upload](https://smartslider3.helpscoutdocs.com/article/138-joomla-installation#upload)
 * About curl, if you still see the problem after installation, please create a 
   PHP file and write this in it:
 *     ```
       <?php
       // create curl resource 
       $ch = curl_init();
   
       // set url 
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://secure.nextendweb.com/wp-login.php");
   
       //return the transfer as a string 
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   
       $errorFile = dirname(__FILE__) . '/curl_error.txt';
       $out       = fopen($errorFile, "w");
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_STDERR, $out);
   
       // $output contains the output string 
       $output = curl_exec($ch);
   
       curl_close($ch);
       fclose($out);
   
       echo "<h1>LOG</h1>";
       echo "<pre>";
       echo htmlspecialchars(file_get_contents($errorFile));
       unlink($errorFile);
       echo "</pre>";
   
       echo "<h1>RESPONSE</h1>";
       echo "<pre>";
       echo htmlspecialchars($output);
       echo "</pre>";
       ```
   
 * then check it in your browser, like: [http://localhost/curltest.php](http://localhost/curltest.php)
   
   and please send me a screenshot of the result to [support@nextendweb.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/warning-count-parameter/support@nextendweb.com?output_format=md)
