    Hi there,

    Thanks for getting in touch.

    So you’re getting this error because the version of PHP installed on your web server is incompatible with BackUpWordPress.

    BackUpWordPress requires PHP version 5.3.2 or higher, so you’ll need to contact your host and ask to be upgraded to PHP 5.3.2 or later.

    Let me know how you get on,

    Cheers!

    TIP: After upgrading my PHP to 5.4, BackUpWordPress still wouldn’t activate. If you’re familiar with editing .htaccess, go to your .htaccess file within your WP installation folder and make sure there isn’t another handler overriding your default settings. I had an extra handler for “AddHandler fcgid-script .php” in my .htaccess file, which wouldn’t allow the plugin to activate. After removing this line, it worked. Be careful and note your changes!
