Getting error when Trying to display custom block

[chiller]

Hey Everyone,

I am working on setting up a custom block with Genesis Custom Blocks. I have the block front end configured and my php build out on the backend. When I go to preview the block or add it to any page I get the following error

Error loading block: The response is not a valid JSON response.

I am using the following:

Theme: Custom theme using Sage 10 Framework
PHP: 7.4.28
WordPress: 5.9.2

Plugins Installed:
- Acorn (for Sage 10)
- Genesis Custom Blocks

Below is a copy of my backend code

<div class="hero-block">

    <div class="hero-block__left">
        <?php if($block_field('pre-header-text')) : ?>
            <div class="hero-block__pre-header">
                <?php $block_field('pre-header-text'); ?>
            </div>
        <?php endif; ?>
        
        <?php if($block_field('header-text')) : ?>
            <h1 class="hero-block__header">
                <?php $block_field('header-text'); ?>
            </h1>
        <?php endif; ?>

        <?php if($block_field('body-text')) : ?>
            <p class="hero-block__body">
                <?php $block_field('body-text'); ?>
            </p>
        <?php endif; ?>

        <?php if($block_field('call-to-action-text')) : ?>
            <a href="<?php $block_field('call-to-action-link'); ?>" class="hero-block__cta-link">
                <?php $block_field('call-to-action-text'); ?>
            </a>
        <?php endif; ?>
    </div>

    <div class="hero-block__right">
        <?php if($block_field('hero-image')) : ?>
            <img src="<?php $block_field('hero-image'); ?>" alt="<?php $block_field('hero-image-alt'); ?>" />
        <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
    
</div>

Yeah, You are right I am also facing some errors while using some custom blocks on genesis theme. As I have developed a script by my developer for android apps site. But when I apply it so it shows some error. Have your found the solution. Kindly share your experience if you have found solution.

PHP Ternary Operator It Might Help You.

This error likely indicates that there is an issue in the php build out for the custom block. It is possible that the JSON response is not formed correctly or that there is an issue in the way the data is being retrieved from the database. If the JSON response is valid, then it may be possible that there is an issue with the way the data is being passed from the back end to the front end. It is best to debug the code line by line to determine the source of the error and make any necessary corrections.

I am facing this error on my website dentclub.co.uk and now ill fix by applying this.
