Fedora 30 upgrade and latest version of WordPress

  • I am hosting my WordPress site on a university student-run server. The server is now allowing migrations to the alpha version of Fedora 30, which I believe I need because WordPress is telling me I am running an insecure version of PHP (under the current Fedora 20 being used by the server): “You cannot update because WordPress 5.4.1 requires PHP version 5.6.20 or higher. You are running version 5.5.26.”

    The university server system says that “Autoinstalled WordPress and MediaWiki apps may not work due to the new version of PHP. They will be upgraded before the transition.” Does this mean that I need to do a manual install of the WordPress 5.4.1 after I migrate over to Fedora 30?

    Here is the full upgrade information page from the university server system:

  • Maybe you should ask the admins or support people at MIT to explain that…

    The only thing I can tell you is to backup first!

    WordPress should run just fine once you get the PHP upgraded as long as the optional resources like themes and plugins are compatible to your upgraded PHP.
