 * This is a PHP 7.X issue, so what’s important is that the PHP version _on the 
   website’s sever _is updated to the latest version: 7.3.11, 7.2.24, 7.1.33. As
   PHP 7.1 will [cease to receive security updates from 1 December 2019](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php),
   this is a useful reminder of the importance of a) making sure you regularly update,
   and b) ensuring that the applications used are still being maintained.

 * The PHP bug has nothing do do with WordPress, and it only affects nginx webservers.
   Those running Apache or Litespeed webservers are unaffected.
