 * Hello
 * Latest plugin update is requesting PHP 8.3+ but WordPress 7.1 still works in 
   7.4+. PHP 8.3 is still a recommendation.
   We are working with PHP 8.1 that is 
   still receiving security updates.Please come back to wordpress minimun requeriments.
 * Thanks

 * PHP 8.1’s security support ended 7 months ago. Upgrade PHP today.
 * We believe plugins should have stricter policies on support for older PHP versions
   and pave the way for WordPress core to raise its PHP requirement.

 * Hello again
 * That’s not exact, php 8.1 still receive security updates from linux providers,
   ubuntu 22.04 in my case has security updates (PHP 8.1 included) until 2032. As
   long as a php version is included in a ubuntu release with support is patched
   with security updates.
 * However, plugins should support same php and mysql versions that wordpress support,
   and actually wordpress 7.1 minimum versions are:
   **PHP**7.4+**MySQL**5.5.5+**
   MariaDB**5.5.5+Regards
