Hi Akeeba,

At the moment I can not update Akeeba Backup Pro 3.6.0 to a higher version, due to a message in the plugin overview.
See attachment.

It says: There is a new version available, but it requires a newer version of PHP or WordPress than the one you have. As a result it will not be installed.

Howerver, I'm running WordPress 5.3.2 and PHP 7.3.11, which should be good enough.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks in advance, kind regards, Burt

This is a known issue which has been fixed in version 7.0.0.rc1. Next week we will be releasing the stable version 7.0.0. You will see the update to it and you will be able to update to it, solving this issue.
