 * Hi, I’m using the latest Admin Menu Editor Pro Version Version 2.4.2., but since
   WP Version 4.7 I’m getting this Fatal PHP Error after activating the plugin:
 * Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘ameInvalidJsonException’ with message ‘Cannot
   parse widget data. The input is not valid JSON.’ in /home/httpd/vhosts/test.ch/

 * It sounds like some of the plugin settings have been corrupted. Try deleting 
   the `ws_ame_dashboard_widgets` row in the `wp_options` table.
 * Note: In the future, please use [this contact form](http://adminmenueditor.com/contact/)
