    Hi,

    Hadn’t logged into wordpress since mid-February and now that I went in to create a new post, I got an error message. So I went to the plugins page and got the following message for all the updates I attempted:

    “Update Failed: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN”> 403 Forbidden Forbidden You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on this server.”

    I tried to upgrade to the latest version of wordpress and got the following message:

    “You cannot update because WordPress 5.2.2 requires PHP version 5.6.20 or higher. You are running version 5.5.22.”

    Have no idea what to do or how to fix. Any help would be appreciated.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    “You cannot update because WordPress 5.2.2 requires PHP version 5.6.20 or higher. You are running version 5.5.22.”

    That error is pretty self-explanatory.

    Contact your hosting provider to update your php to update WP to 5.2.2
