Update php version

Thanks @binil, no problem I am also not always here so appreciate all the help.

Sure I understand and already did a backup and all to save outside if something goes wrong so any time you have free. You can test…

Just let me know after how it goes and I can check how is performing as well after you change.

Meanwhile @binil while you don’t get the time to test. Can I just ask if you can revert at least to put back the 7.2?

Since having php 5.6.40 is messing a bit around some plugin compatibility when you did the switch.

If that could be done would be great and then we can test upgrade again when you get more time.

I have changed to 7.2 – please check.

Thanks @binil just checked php 7.2.34.

We can test after when you have time and can test on the website a version higher. But for now is great 🙂

Hey @binil

Hope you are well. You think there is a way to test this again? I would need to update it so if you could let me know where I can try again on the cpannel – let me know.

Since I have this message to have a php version that is not updated:

Your site is running an insecure version of PHP (7.2.34), which should be updated.

What is PHP and how does it affect my site?
PHP is the programming language used to build and maintain WordPress. Newer versions of PHP are created with increased performance in mind, so you may see a positive effect on your site’s performance. The minimum recommended version of PHP is 7.4.

@binil I try to change the php again and seems to be broken could i ask if you have time to revert or update it to the latest one?

also even if i put back to php 7.4 is saying this ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.’
