 * Hello [@eventosfera](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eventosfera/),
 * Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might
   have been caused due to that.
 * Can you please confirm if your server is running PHP 7.3 from here?

 * If it’s lower than PHP 7.2, you need to contact your hosting to fix that for 
   you.
 * Hope that helps.
