    The server your website is hosted on does not meet the minimum software requirements needed to run WordPress.

    PHP software version on the server: 4.4.9
    PHP software version needed to run WordPress 5.2.4

    You will need to contact 1&1 and ask them to update the software, or move you over to a different server with PHP 5.2.4 installed. If they cannot do this, you will need to move to a different host that will.

    Hi, I followed the instructions 1&1 gave me to be able to run PHP 5.2.4 but this is still happening, and the WordPress dashboard (http://mysite.com/wp-admin) is now unavailable to me, whereas it wasn’t unavailable when I first started having issues.

    What error are you getting?

    When I type in the URL and go to the dashboard page, it’s just a blank web page that says “Your server is running PHP version 4.4.9 but WordPress 3.2.1 requires at least 5.2.4.” at the top, just like when I try to go to my website. –> http://www.courtneycjohnson.com
    But I followed the directions, so PHP 5.2.4 should be enabled now.

    The server might need a reboot before PHP 5.2.4 takes effect. This is an issue for you to sort out with your host.

    Apparently the htaccess file was no longer saved as .htaccess, and that was causing the problem. Thank you for your help, though!
