I have the exact same problem. can someone help please.
Hi, you will get this message if you’re not running PHP 5.3.
The call to json_encode() is within the oik base plugin, in bobbfunc.inc at line 875.
Instead of downgrading to the previous version of oik, I suggest you either apply a simple workaround – remove the second parameter from the call, leaving
$jqoption = json_encode( $parms );
OR upgrade to at least PHP 5.3.3
OR try theming the unwanted Warnings out of view – though it looks tricky.
The reason I added this code was to enable custom “box” transitions without having to change the jQuery Nivo version 3.1 code, except for renaming the files.
I didn’t think that the extra parameter would be a problem. PHP user functions don’t care if they get passed more parameters than they expect.
If you’re unable to make the changes let me know and I’ll release a new version of oik.
StefExakt – have you tried the caption=n option? so you don’t get text behind the surfboard/didgeridoo/bull roarer
bobbingwide – THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Removing the second parameter worked! I did try removing the captions with css styles to no avail but I will try your suggestion, thanks!
Hi again. After my initial response I realized that I can make the solution a lot easier to apply.
The easiest way for me to get a new version of the plugin to you is through the new oik options > Plugins route.
I have created a new version (v1.17.1204) that contains a fix to the above problem. You can install it directly from oik-plugins.com, in 4 simple steps.
For instructions see http://www.oik-plugins.com/tutorials/upgrade-to-a-new-version-of-oik-from-oik-plugins/
This is much easier than fiddling with the development version.
StefExakt. I see you’re sorted now. I hope the problem, like a bad boomerang, won’t come back.
I won’t close this as resolved until I’ve updated the version on WordPress.org
