I did some googling and found the offending regex code on line 727 of ../testimonials-widget/includes/libraries/aihrus-framework/class-aihrus-settings.php
public static function validate_terms( $input, $default ) {
if ( preg_match( '#^(([\w- ]+)(,\s?)?)+$#', $input ) )
return preg_replace( '#,\s*$#', '', $input );
return $default;
}
add a backslash before the -:
if ( preg_match( '#^(([\w- ]+)(,\s?)?)+$#', $input ) )
if ( preg_match( '#^(([\w\- ]+)(,\s?)?)+$#', $input ) )
Hope that helps someone!
