# Incorrect PHP Version

 * The WordPress plugin page currently says “PHP Version: 7.4.30 or higher”. Our
   website uses exactly the same PHP version (7.4.3 is what is shown via PHP info).
 * However, when we try to install this, via Plugins >> Add new (and searching for
   the plugin name), we get the following error message: “This plugin does not work
   with your version of PHP”.
 * Is a higher version of PHP required? PHP 8.1 maybe?

 * Hi [@rikq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rikq/),
 * Actually, in the next version, the required version will be 7.3.50, so there 
   will be less troubles 🙂 (and it’s closer to the truth)
 * In the current version, it’s indeed indicated 7.4.30 (where 30 is above 3 in 
   your case). If you can force install it, go ahead, it works. Of course, if you
   change your version of PHP to 8, that will also be perfect 🙂

 * We already installed it via the zip file. No problems. Thank you.
