PHP 7.4 - Trying to access array offset on value of type bool

[landbryo]

I was getting a bunch of notices that I couldn't ignore. Looked into this notice a bit and it appears to be related to some changes in PHP 7.4. It should be a relatively easy fix that I'll go ahead and look into resolving.

( ! ) Notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in option-tree\includes\class-ot-settings.php on line 395

thanks

[update: sorry I see you've added a fix.. will this be deployed to the wordpress plugin repo at some point?)

[landbryo]

@codemonkeynorth that would be a question for @valendesigns since he was going to review and potentially merge the fix.

Thanks @landbryo, I implemented your change to my code and I'm not getting the notice anymore!

Sorry, I'm confused. What was the fix? I'm getting the same error.

@crudoy you can view the proposed fix here, but it hasn't been merged yet, so you'd have to manually apply it.
