Error: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in _owlcarousel_format_settings()

Created the Patch for the fix the issue. Please review

I got the same Error after upgrading from D8.8 to D9.5.10. All db updates went through and drush status was ok, cache rebuilt, but I was getting WSOD.

After applying the patch I got the site to show up.

The carousel still isn't working correctly and I'm still getting Errors in reports:

Hello, I had a similar problem. After upgrading to drupal 9.5, I found that the problem is the previous configuration in views with the owncarousel format. So I went to every related view and change settings for the formatter. We dont have all options, but after saving the configurations, the error dissapear. Cloud be a good idea to build an update in install file to rebuild settings of views and not to have a white screen with error in views related pages. I hope this could be util to someone else.

Hi @juanmarinm I have created the patch can you apply this if it will not apply check manually and test

Hey all, so I've just updated an early 8.x and was running into issues where composer was not recognizing the patch.

I tried it on both versions 8.x-2.0 and 3.0.1, and neither would apply the patch. That said I went in and replaced lines 110 - 120 with the (+) of the patch and it worked after the update.
