    I just updated the plugin on my site to the latest version and it suddenly stopped work.

    This line appears in place of where it should be in the sidebar:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_strlen() in /home/tiaradia/public_html/wp-content/plugins/kebo-twitter-feed/inc/get_tweets.php on line 374

    My site: http://tiaradiadem.com/

    I had to temporarily hide the widget because this error was interfering with other parts of the site.

    Any help I could get would be most appreciated!

    Hi Zainab,

    I am really sorry this caused a fatal error on your site. I have just looked into this and despite the function ‘mb_strlen’ being available in PHP it is not always turned on/activated. This is an error on my part, and I will make an update later today which checks if it is available and uses the old method for turning URLs into links if not.

    I am very sorry this error occurred and will let you know as soon as I release a fix later today. I really appreciate you letting me know, as I am sure many others have suffered the same problem.

    Hi Zainab,

    The latest version (1.5.1) should fix this issue. It now checks for the mb_ functions and if they are not available, reverts back to the older regex based code.

    I am sorry the plugin caused a fatal PHP error, I take that very seriously and work hard to avoid that ever occurring. I have added to my testing setup to include the most basic php install with nothing extra activated, and I hope this will help me avoid causing a similar problem in the future.

    Please let me know how it goes!

    Once again, thanks for all the hard work!
