 * Hi,
 * I created a website using WP 3.8.2 but I need to transfer this site from my subdomain(
   which has PHP 5.3) to another hosting service, and I just found out that I need
   to use the WP version compatible with their PHP 5.1.6 version.
 * Do I need to downgrade my WP version to an earlier version to be able to transfer
   the site?
 * Do I have another alternative or do I have to build the site from scratch again?
 * Thanks!
