 * Greetings,
    after the last update the plugin writes to me a problem with PHP 
   that requires PHP 5.6. and higher. So far, PHP 5.5 was enough. Is it possible
   to solve it?

 * Hi,
 * Open user-role-editor.php file at wp-content/plugins/user-role-editor/ folder.
   Go to line 37 and replace 5.6 with 5.5. there.
    From
 *     ```
       // check PHP version
       $ure_required_php_version = '5.6';
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       // check PHP version
       $ure_required_php_version = '5.5';
       ```
   
 * Be aware PHP version 5.5 is not supported by developers from 2016.
    Even version
   5.6 received security updates until 1 Jan 2019 only. Look at [this page](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php)
   for more information. It’s highly recommended to update PHP version at your site.
