 * Hi,
 * I am getting the same JSON error as the last guy, but I am on PHP 5.4 (also Hostgator,
   btw).
 * Please advise how to fix this. I am testing this options transfer for a client.
 * Thanks!

 * You’re also seeing `Warning: json_encode() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given
   in .../wp-content/plugins/options-importer/options-importer.php on line 213`?
   If so, there’s no way that your code is running in PHP 5.4. You may have that
   option and it’s disabled, but the second parameter was added in PHP 5.3.0.

 * Sorry – you are right. When I looked at the PHP Config in cpanel it said “default
   is PHP 5.4” but I didn’t notice below where it said “this php file extension 
   will be processed by 5.2” (which is pretty stupid, isn’t it?) When I looked again,
   I saw it.
 * I will address with the host. Thanks!
