 * Server says i’m running PHP versuib us 5.4.45 and when i try to install i get“
   This plugin requires WordPress 4.0 or greater, and PHP 5.4 or greater. You are
   currently running WordPress 4.6 and PHP 5.2.17. Please contact your website host
   or server administrator for more information. The plugin has been deactivated.”
 * Note the first time i tried it, my WordPress wasn’t up to date. But i’ve since
   updated and get the same message.
 * Delete Plugin and Add back?

 * Hi [@rpaarlberg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rpaarlberg/) and sorry for
   the delayed response.
 * The error message states that your version of PHP is out of date:
 * > This plugin requires WordPress 4.0 or greater, **and PHP 5.4** or greater. 
   > You are currently running WordPress 4.6 and **PHP 5.2.17**
 * Although you believe you’re running PHP 5.4.45, you’re not, WordPress is definately
   running under 5.2.17. You may have a `.htaccess` file or similar installed which
   is affecting the version of PHP WordPress is running with – you may need to contact
   your host to determine what’s happening there
