Please disregard my post, I found another post where you stated the following code needed to be removed from single.php

<?php
$data = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'key', true );
if ($data[ 'custom_option' ]) { ?>
    <p><?php echo $data[ 'custom_option' ]; ?></p>
<?php } ?>

This resolved my issue.

Thank you

Hello -

I am recieving this same error on every post made using this theme. I have checked and confirmed that the Custom Fields are empty.

@caysuado1a

As I mentioned in my response above, you need to check the post option fields on the edit page of the post that's creating this error.

Best,

Christopher

I'm having the same situation as you, but do not know how to fix:

Hi there,

Check to make sure the custom fields on the post edit screen are empty. Sometimes WordPress injects some text in there (I'm not totally sure why).

Please let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

When I creat a new post page, I get the Warning: Illegal string offset 'custom_option' in /home/asterm5/public_html/loyolacollege.ca/wp-content/themes/wpuniversity/single.php on line 12.

How to fix that?
