# Alternative plugin?

 * Hello
 * Has anyone found a plugin that successfully replaces Exec-php? I have inherited
   a site that uses it to display posts published on a different database. But, 
   the plugin is not allowing us to update PHP version (we are stuck with 5.6). 
   And this makes it impossible to update other plugins as well.
 * Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you!
