 * I recently had to upgrade to php5.4 for vBulletin software to run on a subdomain
   of my site, but now my WordPress (on main domain) won’t work at all! I had hoped
   the recent update to WP would fix the issue, however it didn’t; so I had to put
   a plain index.html page up for the interim.
 * Does anyone know how to fix the php5.4/WP issue? I code but I’m afraid this may
   be beyond my ability.
 * Thanks in advance for any assistance.

 * WordPress supports PHP 5.2.4+ and actually recommends 5.4+.
