• Hi,

    I upgraded this plugin to the most recent version of 1.8.9 and now it won’t activate. It shows a message: “Post SMTP plugin require at least PHP version 5.6, contact to your web hostig support to upgrade.”

    The server this is running on is PHP 7.0.22.

    Why isn’t this working?

  • I have the same problem. The plugin deactivated itself and now won’t activate again.

    Hello

    Please diagnostic test here, both of you.

    I had to unfortunately switch to another plugin since this is a heavily active website that sends out lots of emails and can’t afford extra time for it to not work properly.

    I tried to search how to do that, but I couldn’t find it. Can you help me out? Is there another plugin I should download to do the test?

    Plugin main screen, not the one marked in red. After him… diagnostic test

    But with the plugin deactivated I don’t have access to the panel and it doesn’t activate

    I’m so stupid …. the hour..

    Search for a plugin, search: phpinfo.
    Download one of the first results.

    Paste only the version.

    Got it working. Updated the php to 7.1. Thanks!

    @walquirya
    Great to hear!

    @kaotik
    What abiut you ? See my instructions above how to get your php version with a plugin.

    @yehudah I am also having this issue. Your plugin will not activate, and there are no error messages, or PHP errors/warnings. The plugin PHP info is showing my PHP version to be 5.4.45. Does this mean I need to upgrade my PHP version? If so, what is the minimum version?

    Thanks.

    Just incase @yehudah is busy, 5.4.45 is a very out of date version of PHP and you should definitely upgrade it.
    If you can, I would upgrade to the latest version of 7.x that you can. (7.2 is the latest at the moment).
    I believe PHP 5.6.x is supported, but it won’t be supported for very much longer. Support for 5.6.x by the PHP group is due to expire very soon.

    If you can go to 7.x your site should see quite a decent speed improvement so it’s well worth updating to 7.x for that alone.

    @shinerweb
    thank you for the help.
    I could not say that better.

    The minimum version is 5.6

    @yehudah OK thanks for that (and thanks @shinerweb). In case I need to temporarily roll back the plugin, what is the last version to be compatible with my PHP version?

    Thanks,

    Carl

    Hi guys. Is there any update to this question? Rolling back the plugin is now getting a bit critical, so I need to know which plugin version supports PHP version 5.4.45.

    Thanks.

    @cag8f
    Security updates support for PHP version 5.4.x ended towards the end of 2015 which is over 2 and half years back.
    5.4.45 was released in September 2015 and support for it basically ended there and then.

    I can only suggest going back to through the versions (click Developer mode on the Plugin page in the right hand sidebar), and find the last version that wasn’t a security update. You couldn’t use a version prior to that or you’d risk exposing your site.
    5.4.45 would have stopped being supported well before the current developer (@yehudah) took over the maintenance and ownership of the plugin. I’m afraid it might be a case of testing different versions until you find one that works.
