Wordpress error: strips() expects parameter 1 to be string... What's the mean and how do I fix it?

Here’s what’s going on:

I’m the webmaster for our local Rotary who sponsors a 5k. I’m a PHP developer by trade and, but I’m by no means a WordPress ninja.

Recently, an automatic upgrade was done to our server which made certain parts of our antiquated Enfold theme obsolete. I purchased a new theme and installed the “theme only” content into the “themes” directory.

Immediately, I saw a big difference in terms of the front page as the rotating carousel is now back so we’re cooking with grease. However, I still have these errors and I don’t know what they mean or how to fix them. They’re all coming from the header.php file in the child directory.

Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home4/grey5k/public_html/wp-content/themes/greyghost5k_child/header.php on line 165

Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home4/grey5k/public_html/wp-content/themes/greyghost5k_child/header.php on line 287

Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home4/grey5k/public_html/wp-content/themes/greyghost5k_child/header.php on line 301

I’ve got the code for the header.php below. Any idea as to what these errors are and how to fix them?

<?php

	global $avia_config;



	$style 		= $avia_config['box_class'];

	$responsive	= avia_get_option('responsive_layout','responsive');

	$blank 		= isset($avia_config['template']) ? $avia_config['template'] : "";

	$headerS	= !$blank ? avia_header_setting() : "";

	$headerMenu = $responsive ? avia_get_option('header_menu','mobile_drop_down') : "";



?>



<!DOCTYPE html>

<html <?php language_attributes(); ?> class="<?php echo " html_$style ".$responsive." ".$headerS;?> ">

<head>

<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>" />

<?php



	/*

	 * outputs a rel=follow or nofollow tag to circumvent google duplicate content for archives

	 * located in framework/php/function-set-avia-frontend.php

	 */

	 if (function_exists('avia_set_follow')) { echo avia_set_follow(); }





	 /*

	 * outputs a favicon if defined

	 */

	 if (function_exists('avia_favicon'))    { echo avia_favicon(avia_get_option('favicon')); }



?>





<!-- page title, displayed in your browser bar -->

<title><?php if(function_exists('avia_set_title_tag')) { echo avia_set_title_tag(); } ?></title>





<!-- add feeds, pingback and stuff-->

<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11" />

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<?php echo get_bloginfo('name'); ?> RSS2 Feed" href="<?php avia_option('feedburner',get_bloginfo('rss2_url')); ?>" />

<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>" />





<!-- mobile setting -->

<?php



if( strpos($responsive, 'responsive') !== false ) echo '<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">';



?>





<?php



	/* Always have wp_head() just before the closing </head>
