Beau – Let’s talk about explaining Earth to aliens…. (C.S. Lewis did something like this in the first volumne of his “Space Trilogy” – and he [deliberately] wrote himself into a corner where his hero had to fail to translate a concept because it flat made no sense. There’s a pdf here of the whole book – the conversation begins at the bottom of page 119 of the pdf [numbered 115 in the text] and the untranslateable concept appears at the bottom of the following page. The conversation ends near the top of pdf page 122 [118] – not terribly long, but a bit long to quote. Though you aay have to suspend disbelief a bit, it’s very reavealing as to some things we think we know but really haven’t a clue.)

PHP is a programming language used to build websites. We have it at all through our hosting partner, BlueHost. In order to update it, we have to go through Bluehost. During his life, TomCat was the only one who had access to our account there. I (JD) am now the only one. I have been to BlueHost and investigated updating our PHP to 8.3 or even to 8.1. I found instructions to do so - in fact, I found two conflicting sets of instructions. I went through one set of the steps and got the message that Our site could not handle 8.3, but that it had successfully updated to 8.1. I then went back here to see what it looked like. But I couldn't get in - either as an administrator or as a reader. It was just gone. I had to reach BlueHost by phone. It was determined that Politics Plus is in fact not compatible with any version of PHP newer than the one we have. BlueHost therefore uninstalled it for me, and the site came back to normal. Of course, like everyone else, I care about security. But I also am aware that TomCat elected to use different providers for several of the services that BlueHost provides, for instance backups. We are backed up daily - but not by BlueHost. However, out PHP is through Bluehost. I feel that if they are not worried about the older version, I am not going to worry about it. I believe that our security here is all or mostly through WordFence, whom I trust.
