   says I should update the PHP so I have written to my web host company, Dot5, 
   about that. My question is, when I install the PHP Compatility Checker plugin
   that this page recommends, the newest version it will check against is 7.0, but
   it seems like 7.4 is the latest version. Is this a limitation of the plugin? 
   Or something else? What do you recommend? Thanks in advance.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-compatibility-checker-7%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * That plugigs states that `Use this plugin to check your site for compatibility
   up to PHP 7.3`!
 * > but it seems like 7.4 is the latest version.
 * That plugins page also states on top of the page `This plugin hasn’t been tested
   with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained
   or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions
   of WordPress.`
