 *     ```wp-block-code
       [17-Jan-2023 09:58:08 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /homepages/42/123/htdocs/abc/wp-content/plugins/learnpress/inc/rest-api/v1/admin/class-lp-admin-rest-tools-controller.php:261

       ```
   
 * This is the line from your code:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $admin_notices        = ! empty( $_COOKIE['lp_admin_notices_dismiss'] ) ? json_decode( wp_unslash( $_COOKIE['lp_admin_notices_dismiss'] ) ) : [];
       ```
   
 * as you can see, the json_decode is not using the second parameter. Some servers
   will return an object instead on an array. It’s better to set the second param
   to true:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       $admin_notices        = ! empty( $_COOKIE['lp_admin_notices_dismiss'] ) ? json_decode( wp_unslash( $_COOKIE['lp_admin_notices_dismiss'] ), true ) : [];
       ```
   
 * because your code is expecting an array.
