What Is PHP?
PHP is the programming language that WordPress and RevivePress are built on.
Newer versions of PHP are both faster and more secure. We share a notice to alert users when they are running an outdated version of PHP because this means their website no longer receives security updates.
The easiest way to resolve this issue is to contact your web hosting provider and ask them to update the PHP version for your hosting account. This is actually quite easy, and something your web host should be doing proactively.
RevivePress PHP Version Requirements
In case your web hosting company asks, RevivePress currently requires PHP version 5.6.20 or higher.
However, we recommend upgrading your site to PHP version 7.4 or higher, as it is faster and more secure than version 5.6.20.
RevivePress WordPress Version Requirements
RevivePress currently requires your site to run on WordPress 5.2 or higher.
If you are using an older version of WordPress, you’ll see a message in your admin area telling you to update your site. Additionally, RevivePress will be disabled and you will not receive automatic plugin updates until you’ve upgraded to WordPress 5.2.
See our article on why it’s important to use the latest version of RevivePress (and WordPress and PHP) for more details on updating.
