# JSON error continually

 * I’ve been trying to set up a review for the past few days and keep coming up 
   with a JSON error. I’ve tested regular posts and don’t have this error coming
   up, only when I try to make a review in Recencio.
 * Was there an error with the latest update since this happened after I updated
   the plugin on Monday?

 * Hello [@proudbookreviews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proudbookreviews/)
 * Can you provide me with some specifics as to what is the exact error message,
   where is it displayed and when does it show up?

 * It pops up whenever it tries to autosave, force save or publish. It pops up in
   a red alert banner across the top of the page just under the bar where the “preview”
   and “publish” buttons are.
 * I can’t remember the exact wording (just woke up and I’m on my mobile) but it’s
   along the lines of “a JSON error has occurred and is unable to save”.

 * I really can’t say what the issue could be as the plugin doesn’t create, use 
   or interact with JSON data when saving reviews.

 * It’s weird coz I tested posts (regular WordPress posts) and I didn’t have that
   issue. I’ve already tried a few fixes online and none of them have worked so 
   I honestly don’t understand what it could be.

 * Is the error message “a JSON error has occurred and is unable to save”? I need
   the exact message to assist me with location the source of this error and possible
   solutions.
 * Also, is your website using a page builder such as Divi, Visual Composer or Elementor?
   Or Gutenberg? They all rely on JSON to work.

 * Updating failed. The response is not a valid JSON response.
 * That’s the error I got. Was finally able to sit down on my laptop to get that.
   I do use Elementor Pro, I’m not sure if the latest update came through between
   the last 2 reviews I’ve set up as I didn’t have any issues with the previous 
   review. Only this latest review.

 * Hello [@proudbookreviews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proudbookreviews/)
 * I have been trying to recreate this specific issue on my test site with Elementor
   installed but I could not.
 * Based on my research it is related to how Elementor saves its template markup
   but I am not familiar enough with it code to try and figure this out.
 * I can only suggest you contact Elementor’s support for assistance with this.
