 * I’m getting an error in my PHP/Apache log: (I renamed the domain and removed 
   the key)

 * No its not 🙁 I Mean it was in 3.8.3 but a minor update to 3.8.4 now causes this.

 * This is what I am getting in my WordPress error log:
 * PHP Warning: json_encode() [[function.json-encode](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/json-error-in-api/function.json-encode?output_format=md)]:
   Invalid UTF-8 sequence in argument in /server/userxxx/public_web/website/wp-includes/

 * How can it say to the right, “This topic is resolved”? There’s no answer provided
   and I am having the same problem on my fully-updated version of WordPress. There
   is no evidence of Support ever seeing this topic.

 * That error message isn’t caused by our plugin. It’s an error generated by update.
   php, which is a core WP file.
 * If you are seeing an error message you believe to be caused by Contextly, please
   email us at [info@contextly.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/json-error-in-api/info@contextly.com?output_format=md)
   with your site name and the error message.
