 * I read in another post that the minimun version supported is 5.6.
    BUT I have
   a Goddaddy managed hosted with PHP 5.6 and I cant install the plug in
 * So… the question is: what is the minimum PHP version supported?
    (and let me 
   tell you: I am afraid to upgrade my version, because of the backward incompatibilities
   not with WP, but with OTHERS plugIns!)

 * I upped the required php version to 7.2 (maybe wordpress is blocking you now),
   but in reality it would still work fine with 5.6 too. Maybe your mysql version
   is blocking you (there too the minimum version is 5.6, and if not the case the
   installation will fail).
 * But I can’t support php 5.6 anymore, since it is end of life since the beginning
   of this year. If you continue to use 5.6, you’ll be at risk of getting hacked.

 * tks!
    very nice and have a good day… (BTW: and it its of use for some other user…
   One can use this plugin (even if the install panel denies it) if you DOWNLOAD
   to you, and you UPLOAD and install as .zip
 * So, I will give your plugin a try)

 * FWIW I updated my site running PHP 5.6 to version 2.1.13 of EME, and it seems
   to work fine. This is as Franky predicted, but your mileage may vary. And no 
   guarantees on future updates!
 * You could always hold a copy of the previous version (2.1.11) ready to re-install,
   just in case.
