Version Information

• Multisite: false
• Adminimize: 1.11.4

Expression of Thanks

First and foremost, thank you so much for this plugin! It is very useful. You guys deserve all the good things in life because you have really make my life as a software janitor a lot easier.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Export settings to JSON file
2. Import settings
3. Error thrown: "Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/adminimize/inc-options/menu_options.php:191"

What I Expected

Plugin Settngs Page renders normally.

What Happened Instead

Plugin Settings Page stops rendering after Menu-Options > Settings > Discussions.

What I did to fix it:

• This is caused by $wp_submenu[ "options-general.php" ] having a $submenuItem of "object" type.
• This is however, NOT the root-cause because:
  • It happens only after I import adminize configuration from the JSON file.
• in menu_options.php, in above line 191 the following check:

  if (is_object($subitem)) {
  $subitem = json_decode(json_encode($subitem), true);
  }

• This is not the best solution:
  • It address only the symptoms not the cause
  • There's a cost of an extra check and convert.

Please consider the fix and/or look into how to address the cause of this issue.

Thank you! Bryan Hillsong.com
