 * Hi,
   We have a site with PHP version 7.4.3, and we have this error showing on 
   the plugin page for this plugin:**There is a new version of Meta pixel for WordPress
   available, but it does not work with your version of PHP.**
 * Kindly guide me on how to resolve this issue.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hello and thank you for reaching out,
 * The updated version of the plugin requires PHP 8.1, so the plugin wouldn’t run
   on your version of PHP. 
 * Is there a possibility of updating the version of PHP on your server?
 * Kind regards,
   Marija

 * Hello,
 * 
   Thank you for your response,
 * 
   No, it is not possible to update the PHP version on our server because it might
   conflict with other sites. Is there any way to fix this issue?

 * Hello,
 * Our recommendation is to keep using the older version of the plugin as you cannot
   upgrade PHP to a newer version.
 * Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

 * Hello,
 * If we maintain the same plugin version on our site, will it affect any site functionality
   in the future?

 * Hello, we cannot make such guarantees but the previous experience with different
   versions has been positive.
 * I will mark this topic as closed but please feel free to follow up if you have
   any questions.
 * Best,

 * Looking at the plugin’s active versions, only 42.7% have upgraded to the latest
   version in the past four months. This tells me that the majority of your users
   do not have PHP version 8.1 or higher.
 * I recommend that you help me and the 57.3% of your users who do not have PHP 
   version 8.1 or higher.
 * It is more efficient for you to make the plugin compatible with PHP version 7.4
   than it is for over 250,000 users to update their website code, themes, plugins,
   etc.

 * Hello Daniel, and thank you for reaching out with your analysis.
 * The PHP version was updated to ensure newer features, as well as higher security.
   Additionally, it is a requirement for the system which allows interoperability
   with the Facebook APIs.
 * The core team is aware that this poses a problem but we cannot say if support
   for PHP 7.4 will be restored.
 * We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
 * Kind regards,
   Marija
