 * From version BNWP 1.9.3, PHP version 8.0+ was needed. In the specs from version
   1.9.6 now I see that PHP 7.4+ will work.
 * Is PHP 8.0+ no longer needed?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-8-0-needed%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@kuppj00](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kuppj00/),
    Thanks for your
   message.
 * That is correct. I’ve taken on board user feedback and decided to let WordPress
   itself decide when PHP 7+ compatibility will be removed. I still advise PHP 8.0
   + for performance and security purposes but the plugin should work fine with 
   PHP 7.4 for the time being.
