  1. Hi, we are experiencing the same error. We’ve tried implementing the code snippet above, but still receive the same error message. We’ve even tried deactiving the Email Encoder plugin entirely, but still receive the same error message so not sure the error is related to that plugin at all?

    • Hey there,
      If the error remains after deactivating Email Encoder, the problem should come from a different plugin. You can try deactivating other plugins in your testing website and find the culprit. Otherwise, please report it in our forum where one of our specialists will help you.
      Regards
