 * [@ugodspower](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ugodspower/) Thanks for the
   question. The important part of the error message you’re getting is:
 * > The PHP version on your server is 7.3.33, however the uploaded plugin requires
   > 7.4
 * In the v1.4.1 release we bumped the minimum PHP version to 7.4, meaning the plugin
   won’t work unless you’re running it in an environment that is running at least
   PHP 7.4. It looks like you’re running PHP version 7.3 so the update won’t work.
 * I’d suggest reaching out to your hosting provider to see if you can get that 
   PHP version upgraded.
