 * I’m trying to use this shortcode, which was copied from the zoom-meetings CPT
 * [zoom_meeting_post post_id=”19971″ template=”boxed”]
 * If I try to save the post, I the ajax request fails and logs the following errors.
   If I disable the plugin I can save the post. But then after I reenable the plugin
   and try to view the post, I see the same errors. All other plugins including 
   the pro plugin are disabled, though the result is the same w/ it active.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       PHP Warning: Illegal string offset 'host_name' in /wp-content/plugins/video-conferencing-with-zoom-api/includes/Shortcodes/Meetings.php on line 164
       PHP Warning: Illegal string offset 'api' in /wp-content/plugins/video-conferencing-with-zoom-api/includes/Shortcodes/Meetings.php on line 166
