Nevermind. I fixed it myself. In case anyone else run into this problem, here's the code. Replace line 176 in functions.php with this:

<input type="text" name="<?php echo $meta_box[ 'name' ]; ?>" value="<?php echo $data ? htmlspecialchars( $data[ $meta_box[ 'name' ] ] ) : '' ?>" />

Using the WordPress AID v 1.4.1 theme with latest WordPress v 3.8.1 I get a PHP error message within the Edit Post page, Custom Post Options panel. Specifically in the text input labelled Custom Link. The error reads:

<b>Warning</b>:  Illegal string offset 'custom_link' in <b>/home/httpd/vhosts/xxxxx/xxxxx/wp-content/themes/wpaid/functions.php</b> on line <b>176</b>

Maybe you're not maintaining the 1.x branch of WP Aid anymore (I hope you do - I'm not interested in switching to 2.x because we want to keep the old look for now) but I hope you could at least provide a fix or a pointer as to what could cause this problem.
