 * Hi
 * Very useful plugin. One issue though with latest version (1.3) & WP 4.3.1.
 * String arguments are not being accepted when creating or modifying a cron job.
 * Plugin gives an example of: [‘i’,’want’,25,’cakes’]. Tried that. Not being accepted.
 * Example I’m trying is [str, int] e.g. [‘deal’, 1234]. Won’t accept that and inserts
   blank argument. Trying [int, int] e.g [0,1234] works.
 * Workaround atm is to use the int and map to a string inside the hook, but would
   prefer the string argument.
 * Thanks
 * Stephen

 * Tifosi – I’m trying to get in touch with you about the old postnuke-2-wordpress
   plugin. Not sure how to do this other than replying to a recent thread. Admins,
   any help?
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks. Contact me at `sb1304@hotmail.com`. Haven’t looked at this in years so
   code may be well out of date.
 * John… any advance on this. Don’t think it was ever looked at. Don’t recall a 
   new version since reporting. Have a workaround but no actual fix.
 * Thanks

 * [@tifosi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tifosi/),
 * I’ve checked this and the problem is with the example code. Double quotes are
   required by the JSON decoding function. If you use double quotes instead of single
   quotes, these arguments work as expected.
