Same problem here.

Edit: if you comment this lines in the file the error says around line 1077, plugin seems to work ok with no error for me.
Note: make all the backups you need to recover before edit the file.
```
/*
 $decoded_value = json_decode( $gallery_json_string, true );
					
 if ( json_last_error() === JSON_ERROR_NONE ) {
	$value = array_values( $decoded_value );
 }
*/
```

Thanks for posting that. Been dealing with this same error and your “fix” worked. Hopefully author will fix soon… or at least comment…

Had to do the same “fix” – any insights from the Developer team?

I got [09-Feb-2025 19:00:24 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function json_decode() in /home/qkobcfli/domains/cginvoice.com/public_html/info/wp-includes/functions.php:4666 and the only fix was to edit wp-includes/functions.php

Here is my fix (too long to post here…. 99% of the time I never check wp.org forums because they rarely give any answers worth a dime).
