WPML 4.3, which will go live in 2-3 months, will use PHP features that only appear in version 5.6 and above. Since WordPress also requires PHP 5.6+<\/a>, this practically doesn’t mean much to most websites.<\/p>\n

PHP older than 5.6 is pretty ancient. In fact, PHP 5.6 is ancient too and so is PHP 7.0. As you can see in the PHP active versions<\/a>, PHP 7.1 is already in “security fixes only” and active development is going into newer versions.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Supported PHP versions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Modern WordPress hosts will always be using the recent PHP versions. This makes your site run fastest and most secure.<\/p>\n

How to test which PHP version my sites are using<\/h2>\n

If you’re not sure what version of PHP your host is offering, use the phpinfo() function. See how to check it in our minimum requirements<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

How to upgrade to modern PHP<\/h2>\n

If you discover that any of your sites are still on versions of PHP prior to 7, we recommend that you contact your host and ask for a PHP upgrade. In most cases, it’s a matter of simple configuration. Almost all hosts already have the latest version of PHP installed. They will gladly switch you over.<\/p>\n

If your host insists on running ancient PHP versions, consider moving to one of the hosting companies that we recommend<\/a> (no affiliate links, just good recommendations).<\/p>\n
