Hello support
I'm not sure if this is a trivial error or something that needs fixing?
I was doing maintenance on my server and noticed the Error Log was massive in file size.
It was full of the same PHP error, being produced by JLex Comment.
On a webpage where no one has posted a comment, the error only shows a few times, however, on pages with a large amount of comments, the same error reproduces over and over again.

There are references to 2 lines of code:
PHP Deprecated:  json_decode(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($json) of type string is deprecated in /home/moviestu/public_html/components/com_jlexcomment/models/items.php on line 346
PHP Deprecated:  json_decode(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($json) of type string is deprecated in /home/moviestu/public_html/components/com_jlexcomment/models/items.php on line 511
Is there a setting I need to change to stop this happening OR is it something that you need to fix ?


I am currently on Joomla 5.0.3

Regards
Derek
