 * Hi there [@ppais](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ppais/) I see you reported
   this thread to the moderators. Please note that we are just the folks who enforce
   the rules around all of WordPress.org.
 * Reporting to moderators doesn’t get any faster support, instead it just kind 
   of attracts attention from folks whose radar you probably don’t want to be on.
   😉
 * If you really do need a moderator, please add a reply letting us know why before
   you hit the report button.
 * Otherwise, please hang in there for the plugin’s support to reply when they can.

 * Hello [@ppais](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ppais/)
 * Hope you are doing well!
 * This error showing up with PHP version 5.3. I am afraid this PHP version is not
   supported anymore by WordPress (please see [WordPress requirements](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/))
   please contact your hosting provider and ask them to upgrade the PHP version.
   The Defender plugin is working well with PHP versions higher than 5.6.
 * Have a good day and take care!
 * Cheers,
    Nastia
