Took a copy of my fully working site to my laptop

-- url of the page with the problem -- : localhost
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.5.15
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : MOZILLA FF 33.0.3
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 89 of 257 bytes in \xampp\htdocs\lumen\lumen_prj\administrator\components\com_hikashop\classes\field.php on line 283

When I run the local version of the site on my xampp Apache and MYSQL servers all looks fine first, but when
I try to checkout when the address form pops up, and also in other areas of the site ,such as the page where all the products are displayed I see strange code that shouldn't appear there, it begins with this error:

Now the online site is working just fine! PHP version there is 5.4.43
I am attaching a snapshot.




I think it has to do with error reporting or maybe php version or maybe the serialize function is handling things..

Please advise.

Hi,

That's just some notice output to help developers. You don't need to see that.
You can turn off the "error reporting" option of the Joomla configuration and you won't see that, like on your online website.

Thank you
I turned error reporting off in configuration.php it first said 'default' so I make it 'off'
Now everything seems to be fine.
