JSON error

    When I import the exported JSON file, I get an error: Sorry, there has been an error. This file may not contain data or is corrupt.

    When I open the JSON file in a text editor, it says: Warning: json_encode() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given in …/wp-content/plugins/options-importer/options-importer.php on line 213 (i removed html tags and replaced the absolute file path with ‘…’)

    Any idea what’s going on here?

    Yes, it would seem that you are using an old and outdated version of PHP. I accounted for this in one respect, but it didn’t occur to me that it would throw a warning and prevent the JSON from being written. I’ll be sure to update this to prevent that error with your version of PHP.

    As an aside, I would recommend updating PHP if that’s within your control. While WordPress still works with your version of PHP, any version < 5.4 is no longer officially supported by The PHP Group and will no longer receives security patches, etc.

    Ugh. You are correct. This is a client’s VPS hosting account with Hostgator, which has been nothing but trouble since I started working on it. It is using php 5.2.17

    I will try to have them update php, but it took a month to get a dedicated IP address, so I won’t hold my breath!

    Thanks for the info.
