 * Hello!
    A question here, Does WordPress 4.3 work fine with PHP 5.5? I know php
   5.6 is recommended but my hosting doesn’t have 5.6. I’d like to know if it could
   present serious issues because I’ve had problems already installing -unknowingly-
   WP 3.4 in a PHP 5.2 enviroment that made me lose an important amount of time 
   and effort put in my website.
 * Would there be important issues related to this?
    Would you recommend, instead,
   installing a previous version of WP?
 * I’m new to WP and I’d appreciate your help!

 * As from the requirements page: [https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)–
   you need, at a minimum, PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0. That being said, anything below
   PHP 5.6 and MySQL 5.0 is at End of Life meaning that you could experience security
   vulnerabilities that will not be fixed by PHP or MySQL. I would contact your 
   hosts and see if they’ll be upgrading soon so that it won’t be an issue. If they
   won’t be upgrading, then I would suggest looking for a new host for better support
   and a better security perspective.
