MariaDB version

  • Hi, my provider informed me that it will upgrade the MariaDB / MySQL version from 5.5.68 to 10.5.
    I have installed wp 5.9.5, could the change of MariaDB version lead to incompatibility problems? Do I have to do some adjustment?
    Thanks in advance for your attention

  • That would be upgrading from MySQL 5.5.68 to MariaDB 10.5.

    MariaDB is considered a drop-in replacement for MySQL. You shouldn’t have to change anything n your WordPress site especially if you’re on a shared hosting platform. WordPress fully supports MySQL 5.7 or newer and MariaDB 10.3 or newer (including 10.5).

    Of course, upgrade or no upgrade, taking regular backups of your site should be something you do all the time. And if you have a humongous site, you want to do some performance tests and make some tweaks to the database server’s config before cutting over.
