 * Hi Max,
 * mb_strtolower is a native php function, unless it’s quite an old version of php.
   Is this a new error?
 * I’m just testing it now with the latest WordPress version and so far so good.

 * You are right. It works. Was something that my host fixed that caused it.
 * However I would update your plugin just to reflect it works.
 * Maybe review the code and do some cleanup of old functions or just some general
   maintenance to reflect the plugin works on 4.0.
 * As the plugin was Last Updated on: 2013-12-1 which is quite a while don’t you
   think?
 * Now I agree with the saying don’t fix what ain’t broke. But people tend to stop
   using – installing old plugins.
