    Hi there, i was creating a blog post and when i published it, it gave me this error.

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_strimwidth()

    I have posted blog post in the past with no problems.

    the post is – http://afa.org.sg/why-are-we-using-25-year-old-technology-to-test-for-hiv-when-theres-a-better-option/

    Played around with the options, realised it’s to do with the number of characters in the title….. why is there a limit to this?

    Hi vin8tan!

    This function is a standard php function: http://www.php.net/manual/de/function.mb-strimwidth.php and used by our theme to truncate text strings which are too long.

    You can try to increase the allocated php memory to 128M – open up wp-config.php which is located in the root WordPress directory. Then add the following line inside the main php tag:

    
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

    If this doesn’t help try to contact the server administrator and ask him to enable the mb_strimwidth () function.

    Regards,
    Peter
