 * It’s unclear to me whether the latest update (1.16.2) still requires PHP 5.5 
   or higher. If so, I need to stay with an older version of SSP. Can anyone give
   me an answer?

 * Hi Steve,
 * In v1.16.2 we built in backwards compatibility to PHP 5.3. We’re preparing an
   update to that in v1.16.3 that we’re hoping to release Monday or Tuesday. I would
   wait until then to update the plugin, but you will not need to upgrade your PHP
   versions with 1.16.3.
 * Thanks for the clarification.
