How can check PHP issues?

  • Hi, I have several websites and some will allow me to update my php to 7+ but a few I have to keep no higher than 5.6. They are all on the same hosting vps. I run updates on all websites weekly. How can I test a WordPress site to see what is causing the issues on a website?

    Thank you

  • This sounds to me like some sites are using plugins or themes that do not support versions of php higher than 5.6. The only fix is to figure out what plugins or themes these are and replace them with something that does the same buy uses php 7+.

    Hope this helps. Once you are able to nail down a solution to the issue please tag the thread as resolved.

    Use a plugin called Compatibility Checker

    Wordpress has nothing that will keep you from updating PHP. If you update and it WordPress doesn’t work you probably have some old plugins, theme, or an old version of WordPress. If your site isn’t updating to a new version of PHP that has nothing to do with WordPress. PHP is the programming language that WordPress runs under. WordPress can’t keep you from updating PHP. If you can’t update the PHP version you need to speak to your hosting company and ask them why.
