 * I just downloaded and installed this plugin. When going into Woocommerce settings
   I get the following error message over and over again:
 * >  Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: unrecognized character after (?
   > < at offset 41 in /usr/local/***/vhosts/***/webspace/httpdocs/baitshack.se/
   > wp-content/plugins/weight-based-shipping-for-woocommerce/woocommerce-weight-
   > based-shipping.php on line 570
 * Any solution?

 * It seems this is due to an outdated PCRE library version installed on your hosting.
   I’ve fixed plugin to support it. Please check it now.
