- Do you have a warning on your WordPress / elementor website telling you to update your PHP version?
Updating the PHP version of your WordPress website is important for a number of reasons.
First and foremost, using an outdated version of PHP can introduce security vulnerabilities to your website. As with any software, newer versions of PHP are released to address and fix known security issues. By using an outdated version, you are potentially leaving your website open to attacks and hacks.
In addition to security, newer versions of PHP also offer performance improvements. These improvements can result in faster loading times for your website, which can be especially important for user experience and search engine optimization (SEO).
Another reason to update your WordPress website's PHP version is that newer versions often include new features and functionality. These updates can make it easier to develop and maintain your website, as well as provide additional capabilities for your users.
Finally, many WordPress plugins and themes may require a specific version of PHP to function properly. If you are using an outdated version, you may experience compatibility issues with these plugins and themes, which can cause errors and break your website.
It's worth noting that updating the PHP version of your WordPress website can also potentially break your website. This is because some older plugins and themes may not be compatible with newer versions of PHP. It's important to thoroughly test your website after updating the PHP version to ensure that everything is working as expected.
In conclusion, updating the PHP version of your WordPress website is important for security, performance, and compatibility. It's important to keep your website up to date to ensure that it is secure, performs well, and functions properly. It's also worth noting that many hosting providers will automatically update your PHP version for you, so it's worth checking with your hosting provider to see if this is something they offer.

Great video - just wondered, how you know it's not going to mess up/ scramble your site? Can you change it back if it does mess things up?
Hi, Yes you can change the php version if things don't work out. Some plugins are always slow to upgrade or sometimes you need to move an old site that needs to use an old version of php.
Should we wait until we get the error message from Word press before updating to the latest version of PHP? I’m using 7.4 and I know that the latest is 8.1
Thats fine, on your dashboard you'll see "site health" that will tell you when you need to take action regarding your php version.
Thank you. this was really helpful to me
Glad it was helpful!
thumbs up
Thank you so much its so helpful
Thank you mate, really appreciate it!
No worries!
"gonna open up one of my pages" *clicks off screen* ... what did you do to get there? how
Sorry about that. I think I was simply opening a tab with a live webpage from the website.
Which should I update first, wordpress core or PHP Version?

Welcome
My website running php 7.4 if i change php 8.1 website are shown are critical error, so what i do
Hi, I think it could be an issue with one of your plugins, disable them one by one and keep testing. If you can't access the dashboard you might have to go in via your hosting panel , look for "file manager", then locate the plugins folder and rename each plugin folder one at a time eg. rankmath to rankmath_old - that disables the plugin, then just undo the name change and turn back on when fixed
My website running php version 7.02, I will update php version 8.1 server error 503 website showing, how will update please clarify
Hi, you may want to check your theme and plugins are compatible with the version of PHP you are trying to run
Thank you. This help
Glad it helped!
thank youuuuuu!

Thank you very much.
no worries, glad it helped.
thanks bro, bringing down your php from 8 to 7 be a problem to your site performance ?
Could be a security issue and a performance issue depending on what you have installed. Make sure you do a backup before trying
My problem is that the webshop that I have is not compatible with php 8.0 or 8.1. I guess that the plugins have to be updated as well. But that depends on the programmers of the plugin.
That's true, lot's of people are running old Wordpress setups that are limited by the PHP version. You'll need to check the compatibility with your shop setup or perhaps consider a rebuild. What type of shop are you running?
Thank you
No worries
Worked !
Glad it helped
he just opened a random tab?? how is this helpful
Amigo una pregunta, la falta de actualización de PHP afecta las ganancias o el rendimiento en la web ?
Sí, aparentemente puede afectar la velocidad y, lo que es más importante, la seguridad del sitio.
When your outdated php is when he needs to update to..

No problem
You should add chapters to this. Thank you!
