 * Hey,
    First of all let me tell you that I’ve been using your pluging for awhile
   now and it is great. today you guys released an update but after doing it, it
   made my site crash. Then I had to delete the plugin from the Cpanel and now that
   I am trying to install it back, I get a Fatal error: Can’t use method return 
   value in write context in /home/…/public_html/wp-content/plugins/lifterlms/includes/
   models/model.llms.question.php on line 406. What can I do to fix the problem?
 * Thanks

 * This error makes me think you’re maybe on an older unsupported of PHP. We recommend
   PHP 7 and require 5.6 at the latest. Older versions are unsupported by PHP itself(
   though they’ll still work) but there’s a lot of issues by using software past
   it’s end of life so I’d recommend you upgrade ANYWAY!
 * You can read about our system requirements here: [https://lifterlms.com/docs/minimum-system-requirements-lifterlms/](https://lifterlms.com/docs/minimum-system-requirements-lifterlms/)
 * If you’re on a cPanel you may be able to upgrade your PHP version yourself. But
   not all cPanels let you so you may need to contact your host.
 * Hope that helps,

 * I think I have PHP 5.4! I think that’s the problem…
 * Thanks so much

 * Yep, 5.4 reached its end of life more than 2 years ago ([http://php.net/eol.php](http://php.net/eol.php))
   please upgrade to 7 (or at least 5.6) and let me know how it goes.
 * Best,
