 * Hi,
    I’ve installed your plugin but I’m getting the following message:
 * SSL Insecure Content Fixer requires PCRE version 8 or higher; your website has
   PCRE version 7.8 2008-09-05
 * I’ve asked my web hoster if they can update this and they said they can’t. Is
   there anything else you can suggest?
 * Hope you can help
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpcre%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * G’day macpheek,
 * It sounds like your site is running on an old server that no longer receives 
   updates, e.g. CentOS 6 stopped receiving full updates in May 2017. You should
   check with your host to see what plan they have for upgrading that server, or
   move to another host.
 * In the meantime, here’s a version of the plugin that allows you to stop that 
   notice if the server has at least PCRE v7.2, which I think should still work.
   I reckon v7.8 will work OK, but I’m not testing with it so can’t guarantee it.

 * To stop the notice on your server, add this line to a plugin or your theme’s 
   functions.php file:
 * `add_filter('ssl_insecure_content_pcre_version_permissive', '__return_true');`
 * cheers,
    Ross
