“imagick module not installed, or disabled” message

  • Ran the WP Health Check. It advised updating to PHP 7.3 (server was running 7.2). Made the change, then Health Check reported that the imagick extension was missing. Reported this to hosting company who couldn’t tell me why this was the case — though the PHP report (see page address above) does indeed show that there is no imagick module present.

    Has imagick been removed from PHP 7.3? Why is Health Check reporting this as an error?

  • Hi,

    In Ubuntu, you have a module for 7.2 and another for 7.3:
    apt-get install php7.2-imagick
    apt-get install php7.3-imagick

    I don’t know if its a problem of an update because I only installed the 7.3 version.

    Thanks Antonio. Except I don’t really understand your answer.

    I have now reposted this question under ‘Fixing WordPress’ since it had nothing to do with the Health Check & Troubleshooting plug-in

    When I update from php7.2 to php7.3 I have to manually install some modules (also disable in apache I have to disable 7.2 and enable 7.3).

    After this, I saw the module imagick is missing so to install I have to run:
    apt-get install php7.3-imagick

    But I don’t know if when you upgrade from 7.2 to 7.3 the imagick also update or you have to do manually. I didn’t have imagick install with the php7.2 installation.

    Thanks Antonio.

    I’ve since discovered that my web host does not accept imagick under PHP 7.3. They run GD module instead.
