Xampp on Windows Vista SP1

  • I have a very old machine with Windows Vista SP1 (I can’t afford a new one).

    In my computer I have XAMPP 3.2.1 wich includes PHP 5.6.3 (this is the versions that run in my computer).

    In the www.ads-software.com site, the version available for download is 4.9.4 compatible with PHP 7.2 or greater.

    Can I get an older version of WordPress compatible with my versionn of XAMPP?

    If so, how can I get it?

    Thank you

  • WordPress, including the latest version 4.9.4, only recommends 7.2 or greater. It supports 5.2.4 or greater. As noted here: https://www.ads-software.com/about/requirements/

    Note: If you are in a legacy environment where you only have older PHP or MySQL versions, WordPress also works with PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions have reached official End Of Life and as such may expose your site to security vulnerabilities.

    So the latest version will work with your version of Xampp.

    Thank you Jacob Peattie,

    Your answer was helpful.

    I must admit that I was paying less attention than I should to the link that you show me.

    Thank God this is not StackOverflow !

    Thank you again.
