 * Hi all, looking for some help in figuring out an issue with my WordPress setup.
   I’ve got two issues, and they seem to be theme/plug-in/widget/PHP related.
 * I have two plug-ins I can’t get to work: WPBadger, and Google+ Comments. When
   I activate WPBadger, it should show a widget available in the Appearance section.
   But, nothing is there…it’s just the basic widgets. For Google+ Comments, it says
   that my PHP is not 5.3+…and I need to update the PHP.
 * For WPBadger, I know that I usually have to deactivate all of my plugins to make
   the widgets work correctly. Is there something I’m missing with this?
 * For Google+ Comments…is there another plugin people have used for this…or how
   do I update PHP?
 * Thanks in advance – Ian

 * Plugins may not work with all themes and they can also have conflicts with each
   other. If that’s the case, you may need to simply find another plugin.
 * Do the first plugin work on the twentytwelve theme?
 * Updating PHP is a question for your hosting company.

 * Hi, thanks for the quick support. I’ll figure out how to update PHP…or find another
   plug-in. I’ll also see if I can find another plug-in for displaying badges.
 * If I deactivate all of the badges…would that eliminate possibilities of it not
   working with other badges?
 * Also, can I move back to the twentytwelve theme to test out the WPBadger plug-
   in…and then move back to my Oxygen theme after testing…without messing anything
   up?
 * Thanks again.
