 * Hello.
    I’m trying to install WP Stagging on my website but I’m unable to. I’m
   faced with the following error:
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘class’ (T_CLASS), expecting identifier(
   T_STRING) or variable (T_VARIABLE) or ‘{‘ or ‘$’ in /home/asldkfjgh/public_html/
   mywebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-staging/Core/WPStaging.php on line 337
 * I installed “Display PHP Version” plugin to view what PHP version I’m currently
   using.
 * WordPress 5.1.5
    Running PHP version: 5.4.45

 * Hello [@gonsantos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gonsantos/)
    I am really
   sorry we’ve updated WP Staging for minimum PHP Version 5.5 and forgot to add 
   this information to our requirement check and the readme information of the plugin.
 * You can download a old version 2.6.4:
    [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-staging.2.6.4.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-staging.2.6.4.zip)
 * This one should support PHP 5.3
 * If not, you can go back to an older version here:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/advanced/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/advanced/)
 * Please let me know if this does not solve your issue.
 * René
