# PHP version

 * I tried to install Link Library plugin, but I encountered with an alert saying,“
   This plugin requires WordPress 4.0 or greater, and PHP 5.4 or greater. You are
   currently running WordPress 4.3.1 and PHP 5.3.29. The plugin has been deactivated.”
 * It would be appreciated if someone could let me know which older versions could
   work for my circumstances or if there is a trick to solve this issue. Unfortunately,
   it seems difficult to upgrade the PHP version on my side for now (since I’m using
   a shared server).
 * Thanks!

 * This should not be a problem, I am also using shared hosting. Check your shared
   hosting C-panel, and look for PHP with ctrl+F combination in your browser. Try
   to find php version and just select the radial box to the bigger version. Now…
   see if all else fails, contact your host, if they are ass holes… well sorry, 
   you will wait here for the rest of ethernity for answer. I am not familiar with
   this plugin, but normally this is how you solve this.

 * I am not sure where this error message is coming from. I checked the Link Library
   source code for parts of this error message and did not find anything. Are you
   sure that it is Link Library that is causing this? Did you try installing the
   WordPress Links Manager at the same time?
 * I do know that Link Library was supposed to be transitioned to the new WordPress
   translation model in the past week, so I wonder if that changes any of the stated
   requirements for a plugin.

 * Thanks, both of you. Borislav, I wish I could upgrade the PHP version, but the
   hosting company hasn’t prepared any greater versions but a CGI mode.
 * Yannick, this happens when I try to activate the Link Library plugin. The URL
   of the alert above is /wp-admin/plugins.php?action=activate&plugin=link-library%
   2Flink-library.php&plugin_status=inactive&paged=1&s&_wpnonce=f851089a79.
 * Having said that, I’m not sure this issue is specific to the plugin alone since
   there have been similar issues with other plugins such as Add From Server. Like
   my case, it seems to have happened very recently (and I have no idea how it was[
   resolved]).

 * I found out that using the Add From Server plugin had prevented me from activating
   ALL THE OTHER plugins. So, the Link Library plugin has nothing to do with this
   issue.
 * Thank you.
