• Hi – upgrading to 3.8 (and 3.7.1 before it) give me this error. At the advice of StudioPress, I switched to the default theme and disabled all plugins – didn’t help. Anyone have a suggestion? I haven’t tried manually updating yet – that doesn’t seem like it’s quite the right solution though?

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function mbstring_binary_safe_encoding() in /home/jmrunkle/lifegetsreimagined.com/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 62

  • Try re-uploading all files & folders – except the root wp-config.php & .htaccess files and the the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    same problem here with 3.8

    anyone has a solution ?
