 * Hi there,
    I’m using the plugin as part of the circles theme. The testimonials
   used to work perfectly and lately we updated the wp and theme and moved to a 
   new host and since then the plugin stopped working. I get the error message: 
   Plugin “Testimonials by Aihrus” has been deactivated as it requires PHP 5.3.0
   or newer. You’re running PHP 5.2.17. Once corrected, “Testimonials by Aihrus”
   can be activated I don’t have the option to update the php version (already spoke
   to the host support) and I really need the testimonials back on. Is there a fix
   for that, maybe a patch or an earlier version that can work for me?
 * Thanks !

 * See the FAQ about PHP 5.3 requirements. Look at the last section for links to
   older working versions.
