    Hello,

    I updated one of the WP plugins today and all of a sudden my website went down. I get this message whenever I try to go onto my website dashboard and my actual website:

    ‘Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ‘>= 7.2.5′. You are running 7.0.33.’

    Please help me fix this problem.

    Hello!
    I experienced the same problem today. It seems that some plugin was automatically updated and then things went wrong, and on google I found a piece of advice to just delete the plugin causing problems. So I went to my hosting provider site (in my case Bluehost) and there I accessed File Manager -> www-> wp-content-> plugins, where I found the plugin which was last updated and I set its permissions to 0. (I did not delete it, just in case since I don’t know if I will need it ever again), and now the website is restored. However, this only worked for me because I do not actually use this plugin.
