All add-ons currently require PHP 7.4 or greater.
On July 4th 2024 PHP 8.2 will be the new minimum requirement for all add-ons. Expect any add-on released after that date to require 8.2 or greater. Some releases may not immediately take advantage of 8.x specific features in PHP, which means you might, be able to continue using new releases in PHP 7.4, however, if you experience an error the first thing you should do is update to PHP 8.2 then create a support ticket if the error persists.
Please read about the changes to BoldMinded add-on licensing.

Possible Solution
Additional context
BoldMinded (Brian)
It sounds like the mbstring functions are not installed on your server. Check your PHP ini, you can do this in the Tools > Utilities > Php Info section, and see if “mbstring” is installed. There should be a whole section usually starting with “Multibyte Support enabled”
