 * Hi there! When attempting to activate the plug-in an error was given that the
   wrong PHP version was being used. I upgraded my PHP version to 5.4 with hosting
   provider but the same error is being given. Does it take a certain amount of 
   time for the plug-in to note the new version of PHP? Is it possible to make the
   application ignore the PHP version upon activation? Any workarounds or suggestions?
   Thanks for your help!

 * Hi there,
 * It’s not an error, your site will still definitely be using the old version of
   PHP.
    Quite often although you change it in your hosting panel, it only affects
   new applications or there’s something in your `.htaccess` overriding it.
 * You can confirm using 3rd party plugin such as [https://wordpress.org/plugins/version-info/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/version-info/)
