# PHP Version Error

 * I had Featured Image Caption installed successfully but when I updated WordPress
   to 5.1.1 it brought down my site. After installing all other plugins and successfully
   activating, I narrowed it down to this one. If I try to load featured-image-caption
   from a backup of the plugins folder to the active plugins, it brings down the
   site entirely. It installed properly from the plugin directory but cannot be 
   activated. Receiving the following error: “PHP version 5.4.45 is unsupported 
   by Featured Image Caption, must be version 5.3 or newer.” Seems strange that 
   it is looking for PHP 5.3 or newer but not 5.4.45. Any help on this would be 
   appreciated.

 * Hmm, strange. Let me do some more testing of the PHP version checking that occurs
   in the plugin to make sure it’s working properly.

 * I think I’ve found the problem here. It’s a combination of how I’m checking the
   PHP version, and the actual text of the error message. I should have an update
   released shortly.

 * I have released version 0.8.9 which should correct this problem. Please let me
   know if it’s now fixed for you. Thanks!
