 * I have updated WordPress to the latest version and I am currently running PHP
   7.4. The plugin is sending errors that I don’t have an updated version of PHP
   running and will not allow me to activate nor update the plugin.

 * [@jgatewood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgatewood/) I’d recommend trying
   to disable all plugins on the site, and then try to activate the plugin once 
   again, under that setup.
 * It would help to have a copy of the errors you are seeing. Can you paste the 
   exact messages into this thread?

 * I already disabled all of my plugins and started adding them back one by one.
   The moment I tried to reactivate Woocommerce and Ninja Forms for that matter 
   I get this error attached. I have already spoken to my host and they confirmed
   that my PHP is set to 7.4.

    PHP 7.4 should 
   not be used for WP and the Plugins right now becauese this leeds to errors. Change
   back to version 7.2

 * Hey [@jgatewood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgatewood/),
 * As a test, I’d also recommend what [@braehler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/braehler/)
   suggested and try setting your server’s version of PHP to b v7.2 to see if that
   helps.

 * I’m starting to believe this is a WordPress issue. I changed the PHP back to 
   7.2 and still get the errors. I did the Site Health check and WordPress claims
   I’m still using PHP 5.6

 * Hey [@jgatewood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jgatewood/),
 * That is strange, you visit **WooCommerce > Status** what does the status report
   indicate as the version of PHP being used. You should see the version displayed
   there too like this example below.
