# PHP version 7.2 or 8.4?

 * I would really like to try out this plugin, but I cannot install it because we
   are using PHP version 8.3.
 * The description states that it should work with PHP 7.2 and up. However, the 
   setting on the right specifies PHP 8.4. Consequently, installation via the WordPress
   backend is automatically blocked, leaving no way to install it.
 * Does it really only work with PHP 8.4 or later?
 * Have a nice day!

 * Hi, I have decreased the min. PHP version to 8.2. It should work but please let
   me know if you encounter any error.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi, thanks for the update! Unfortunately, I still haven’t been able to install
   it, as version 8.4 is still required. Does it take a few days for the change 
   to go live?
 * This is what it looks like when I select the plugin in the WordPress backend:

 * Hi, Apologies, the updated version didn’t make it to the WordPress.org repository.
   I just verified it and the current version 1.4.6 supports PHP as low as 8.2

 * Great, thank you very much! It worked this time, and I was able to install it.
 * (And we’ll take a closer look at the plugin’s features over the next few days,
   but at first glance, everything seems to be working perfectly for our needs.)

 * Good to hear! PHP 8.4 was a bit too strict it seems. Thanks for taking the time
   to contact me so I could fix it instead of just jumping to a different plugin.
   If you have the time, could you leave a review if you’re happy with the plugin?
   Or if you have any points of improvement, I’m happy to hear them.
