PHP version

[Marlou .]

Hi,

I got an email from my hosting saying they are changing/upgrading the PHP version. From 5.6 tot 7.1 or 7.2. When I adjust this, my website doesn’t function anymore. Does this have something to do with my theme not running on this version? I’m a bit stumped as why nothing works anymore (I put it back to 5.6 for now).
See screenshot for error: https://vesco27.imgur.com/all/

My website is: https://saudadesdeportugal.nl

Kindly choose PHP version 7.0 to have all the plugins/themes/WordPress website etc function properly and working.

Hi,

Unfortunately there are only 3 choices: 5.6, 7.1 and 7.2

Everything works on 5.6, not on the other two… Any suggestions/solutions?

[Sonal S Sinha]

What is the error you get for PHP 7.1?

Hi,

I just uploaded a screenshot of the error message for PHP 7.1: https://vesco27.imgur.com/all/

What is your WordPress version?

Also it seems htaccess is not picking up PHP 7.1

Kindly ask hosting to assist because it is printing wp-config files details if you check closely. Not a theme issue here but installation and whole ecosystem issue.

Ok… This is all out of my leaugue… I had no idea where this went wrong!

Does SKT support PHP8.4? I updated to latest and having problems with wp-admin blank pages. many thanks

Hi,

PHP 8.4 is not fully compatible with WordPress, potentially causing issues. It is advisable to use a lower version of PHP.
