 * Hi,
 * That line uses the `mb_internal_encoding()` function that requires the PHP [mbstring](http://php.net/manual/en/book.mbstring.php)
   extention to be installed.
 * You may ask your host if it can be enabled.
 * I’ll see if I can make the plugin not activate when it is not enabled on the 
   server.
 * Thank you for the report!
