PHP Error in wordpress - Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in plugins/Ultimate_VC_Addons/.. line 343

Question

I am facing an issue with my WordPress site with the following notice and it has broking a huge part of my site.

I am getting this message at the homepage:

Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in /www/wp-content/plugins/Ultimate_VC_Addons/modules/ultimate_parallax.php on line 343

foreach ($layer_image as $key=>$value) {
   $bg_imgs[]=$layer_image[$key][0];  //line 343
}

Have been reading through many cases but not really clear why this happens. Any one who can assist I am new to php.

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

Usually, it's because:

• Incompatible of Ultimate VC Addons with PHP version on the server.
• Incompatible of Ultimate VC Addons with WordPress.
• Incompatible of Ultimate VC Addons with other plugins.
• The data in the Ultimate parallax module is incorrect.

There is something you can try if you are new to PHP:

• Check the data you are added in Ultimate parallax
• Remove that module and add again
• Update Ultimate VC Addons to the latest version, also check the version of WordPress if it is too old.
• Contact the Ultimate VC Addons plugin provider.

I recently got also this error message in config.php after upgrading to PHP 8.0 . Error message disappeared after downgrading to PHP 7.4 .
