 * I’ve been able to replicate. I’m investigating why this is occurring so I can
   implement a fix. I’ll loop back asap when I have a solution.

 * I’ve found the cause and added a fix. I’ll be releasing an update by tomorrow.
   I apologize for the trouble!
 * In the meantime…
 * I highly recommend suppressing the display of PHP notices if this is a live public
   site which is considered a best practice.
 * Here is a link which provides some more details on how to do this:

 * Yes, the update will be released today as I said previously.
 * Please note, I gave you a proper solution in my last reply that you can implement
   now without having to wait for the update.
