 * We’ve received the following error when trying to update plugins or WordPress’
   core:
 * PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function utf8_decode() in …/wp-content/plugins/
   ssh-sftp-updater-support/phpseclib/Net/SSH2.php on line 3461
 * Any help on fixing this issue would be appreciated!

 * Hi,
 * You need to enable the PHP module php-xml in your PHP install. That module provides
   this function.

 * I believe this should no longer happen in the latest release. Please open a new
   thread if it does.
