  Hello,
  I am trying to upgrade my WordPress version and got this error message – You cannot update because WordPress 5.2.2 requires PHP version 5.6.20 or higher. You are running version 5.4.20.

  Can someone please tell me how to fix it?

  Hi kelly1e45d5b864,

  You will need to contact the person/company responsible for hosting your website and ask them to update the version of PHP your site is running on.

  Unfortunately this forum is only for users on WordPress.com whereas you are on a self-hosted WordPress.org installation.

  You will be able to get help with what you need to do regarding the required PHP update in the WordPress.org support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

  You can read more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/.

  You’ll need to contact your hosting provider’s support for instructions on updating PHP, since that is controlled by the server, not WordPress.
