count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable error after upgrading to PHP7.3

Permalink
Hi all. For those who may come across this error after upgrading a site to PHP7.3
"count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable"

I'm sure there are other causes but make sure in your page_theme.php file that the "getThemeResponsiveImageMap()" function is completely commented out if you are not using it and not just the options. This was how it was in a couple of my sites and caused no issue until upgrading PHP.
public function getThemeResponsiveImageMap()
    {
        /*return array(
            'large' => '900px',
            'medium' => '768px',
            'small' => '0'
        );*/
    }


Hopefully this helps those who's dev skills are like mine... just enough to be dangerous.
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks ConcreteOwl but there is no error anymore. I posted this more as cautionary tale in case some other person starts off with a premade theme and makes the mistake of only commenting out the values within the function mentioned above just like I did. And then spends an entire day googling the error and banging their head on their desk... again just like I did.

I do appreciate the reply though.
