Title: Fatal error: undefined function WpAssetCleanUp\json_last_error() Last modified: April 17, 2019 --- # Fatal error: undefined function WpAssetCleanUp\json_last_error() * Resolved [Jelle Roorda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jifuss/) * (@jifuss) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-undefined-function-wpassetcleanupjson_last_error/) * Hi Gabriel, * I just installed the latest version of the plugin (1.3.2.6) on WordPress 5.1.1( at time of writing also the latest version). * After I installed the plugin, and switched on the “I’ve read and understood the use of this plugin” (or something like that), and pressed the “save” button, I got the error below. Sadly, I had to remove the plugin again to get the site to function again. From the error it seems a function is missing from the main plugin class (maybe a slight mistake during checking in the code on the SVN repository?. * Please give me a heads up after you’ve found the time to fix it, since the plugin is very helpful! * If you’d like me to investigate the issue any further feel free to let me know. * ``` Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function WpAssetCleanUp\json_last_error() in USER_DIRECTORY/wp-content/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/classes/Settings.php:262 Stack trace: #0 USER_DIRECTORY/wp-content/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/classes/Main.php(237): WpAssetCleanUp\Settings->getAll() #1 USER_DIRECTORY/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(286): WpAssetCleanUp\Main->triggersAfterInit('') #2 USER_DIRECTORY/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(310): WP_Hook->apply_filters(NULL, Array) #3 USER_DIRECTORY/wp-includes/plugin.php(465): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #4 USER_DIRECTORY/wp-settings.php(505): do_action('init') #5 USER_DIRECTORY/wp-config.php(92): require_once('/home/cizapeo34...') #6 /home/cizapeo342/domains/fortranbigirimana in USER_DIRECTORY/wp-content/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/classes/Settings.php on line 262 ``` - This topic was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by [Jelle Roorda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jifuss/).

It could be that you’re in a rare situation where the configuration of the PHP on your server doesn’t have the JSON extension enabled. * What’s the hosting company you’re using? Can you verify through a php.ini check or via your hosting control panel if the extension is enabled? I have to admit this is very rare and you might have issues with other plugins or themes as well. * PS: I initially thought the error is due to the namespace, but I’ve checked the code and all is looking good and no one ever reported such an error so far. Here’s the same issue discussed here regarding a different plugin where they suggest the same fix: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-5-1-1-upgrade/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-after-5-1-1-upgrade/) - This reply was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/). * Plugin Author [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) * (@gabelivan) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-undefined-function-wpassetcleanupjson_last_error/#post-11448732) * [@jifuss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jifuss/) I’ve added a fallback in case json_last_error() is not defined.
