 * Hi there,
    I keep getting this error:
 * Error: Current PHP version does not meet minimum requirements for LifterLMS.
 * I’ve contacted Bluehost and they are running 7.3 on both my main site and subdomain
   where LifterLMS used to be working.
 * Please help, my entire site is down.

 * PS, I get this whether i do a fresh install of the plug in with a zip file OR
   look it up through wordpress.

 * [@jjcarolan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jjcarolan/),
 * This sounds very much like your server is *not* on PHP 7.3
 * If you’re seeing this when you’re trying to install LifterLMS that means WordPress
   itself is identifying that your server doesn’t meet our minimum requirements (
   PHP 7.2 — see more here: [https://lifterlms.com/docs/minimum-system-requirements-lifterlms/](https://lifterlms.com/docs/minimum-system-requirements-lifterlms/))
 * If this is what’s happening then your host is incorrect and your not actually
   using 7.3.
 * You can double check what’s actually running on your server with the new site
   health check info report (available in WP core 5.2 or later) by navigating to
   Tools -> Site Health -> Info and then opening the “server” section.
 * Can you help orient me to the error your seeing by posting a screencap and also
   posting a copy of your WordPress site health check report information (click “
   Copy site info to clipboard”) on the site health screen I mention above and post
   that to a service like pastebin and paste that link here for me to review.
 * Thanks

 * [@dilshodwordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dilshodwordpress/),
 * You can install the zip file manually to bypass the version requirements enforced
   by LifterLMS and WordPress on the plugins installation screen.
 * Download the zip via the “Download” button on the WordPress.org plugin’s repository
   and then install it manually via Plugins -> Add New
 * LifterLMS does *technically* run on PHP 7.1 but we’re aiming to only support 
   versions of PHP under active support and development. PHP 7.1, for example, is
   only receiving security releases and will reach its end of life in December (
   [https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php)).
 * If you encounter any issues as a result of using PHP 7.1 we’ll likely ask you
   to upgrade instead of fixing it for 7.1 users as we officially do not support
   it so do this at your own risk.
 * Best,

 * Thank you for the work around, I will try to do it and report back in a couple
   of days
