    While version 1.8.1 was running smoothly and i was very happy with WP SpamShield (blocking 180 spam/day), i upgraded to 1.8.2 that refuse to be upgraded. I got the message :

    Plugin deactivated. PHP Version 5.3 required. PHP 5.2.17 is extremely out of date and should be upgraded as soon as possible for security, functionality, and website performance. If you need help with this, please contact your web host.

    And the plugin stay unactive.

    Please help :p

    Nevermind.
    I saw in patch note that php requirement as been raised.
    And my php was indeed a bit old.
    I now use a recent version of php and the plugin is working fine again.

    Hi kbuleon,

    Yes we raised the minimum requirements for the plugin. Even WordPress has a current minimum requirement of 5.2.4, and PHP 5.4 is recommended (see requirements), so you would have needed to upgrade your PHP even just for WordPress. Sooner or later they will drop support for 5.2 altogether as well as it’s very old. Support for PHP 5.2 stopped back in 2011, and even then the PHP team was urging users to upgrade PHP.

    You made a good decision to upgrade your PHP. You will likely notice your site running much faster as well. ?? Have a good one.

    – Scott
