 * I got a message that Better Notifications had been deactivated, because it was
   incompatible with my level of PHP. I contacted my host and upgraded my PHP to
   8.X. Better notifications will not install or activate.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fnot-recognizing-php-update%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@dorfdimpaler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dorfdimpaler/),
    Thanks
   for your message.
 * It should work providing you’re on a version of PHP 8.x
    Do you see any errors
   when trying to install or activate BNFW? If so, can you tell me what they are?

 * I think I see a problem. As I burrow into it, I’m seeing conflicting info regarding
   which version of PHP I’m on. I need to take this up with my host.
 * I’ll get back to you if I continue to have the problem.
