 * I have downloaded the “Add From Server” plugin in order to link to our historical
   society stored data at EarthLink. When I activate our Add From Server I receive
   this error message: “This plugin requires WordPress 4.0 or greater, and PHP 5.4
   or greater. You are currently running WordPress 4.7.1 and PHP 5.3.28. Please 
   contact your website host or server administrator for more information. The plugin
   has been deactivated.” I have tried to update PHP, but have been unsuccessful.
   Could using an older version theme require an earlier PHP? Any thoughts or input
   would be appreciated.

 * This is not related to WordPress
 * When you upgrade PHP, check if Apache is using the correct php.ini file
 * Sorry cant be of much help
