 * Hi,
 * I have been using the WO plugin for years on multiple websites and hadn’t had
   any problems with it. But soon after adding it to this website, we started having
   issues saving posts and uploading media due to incessant JSON Error messages.
   Only found it was triggered by the plugin after disabling all plugins and testing
   the issue per plugin.
 * I still need the WO plugin as it is critical to the UX of the website. Please
   help, thanks.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwidget-options-causing-json-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
