 * Hi all!
 * I saw WooThemes / WooCommerce no longer supports PHP 5.4 and lower as of today.
   Is this accurate? I’ve only seen this by accident as it’s not posted elsewhere(
   as far as I’ve seen).
 * How soon do we all need to update our PHP versions?
 * Here is your page stating this: [http://docs.woothemes.com/document/how-to-update-your-php-version/](http://docs.woothemes.com/document/how-to-update-your-php-version/)
 * Thank you for your help!

 * Also – is there anything we need to be concerned with or aware of as it comes
   to changing an active install from PHP 5.4 and lower to PHP 5.5? Thanks!

 * PHP have stopped supported 5.4 officially. WooCommerce still works on 5.2+, although
   we recommend using 5.6+ as of today.

 * Hi Mike
 * Thank you for the crazy fast response. Best I can do is 5.5 (other plugin devs
   still just getting compatible with that one).
 * Hopefully all will be well. 🙂
 * Have a great week!
