 * Not working for me with this error.
 * “”This plugin requires WordPress 4.0 or greater, and PHP 5.4 or greater. You 
   are currently running WordPress 4.5.3 and PHP 5.3.29. Please contact your website
   host or server administrator for more information. The plugin has been deactivated.”
 * It’d be great if it’s possible to bring in an update that could work with PHP
   5.3 and later 🙂

 * Not Happening.
 * PHP 5.3.29 was released on **14 Aug 2014**, which incidentally, was the last 
   version of PHP 5.3 ever to be released. Any bugs and security issues since then
   have remained unfixed in your version of PHP.
    Since then, PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6 
   and now even 7.0 have been released, all fixing major bugs, improving performance,
   and closing many security holes.
 * I’ve chosen to not support out of date versions of PHP as a form of encouraging
   you to contact your web host and ask for something more recent, *anything* more
   recent.
 * PHP 5.4 and 5.5 are no longer officially supported by PHP for security patches
   either I should add. I’ll be reviewing if I should bump the requirements to PHP
   5.6 probably next year.
