Missing imagick.php module

  • If WordPress sites are going to have a site health indicator it has to work.

    A message that seems to be unfixable doesn’t hack it. I have scoured the forums for a fix for the missing imagick.php module message and found a couple of potential fixes. ftp access is necessary (really?) so I logged in as root (you expect novices to do this?) found the problem app’s public folder (if that was right, all I had was this “sudo apt install php-imagick” Anyway the result was that it was already installed.

    php-imagick is already the newest version (3.4.0~rc6-1ubuntu3).

    I have php7.3 and it seems the latest imagick but still my site has “problems”

  • Imagick might not be enabled. There are a couple of suggestions in this post:

    I would try making sure that in your php.ini file this line is added:
    extension=imagick.so

    The file should be located in /etc/php/7.3/apache2/ or something similar depending on if you’re using apache or Nginx.

    After that restart your web server using “sudo service apache2 reload”

    I have enabled imagick and verified that it is installed. All my sites are on php7.4 so now why is Site Health still giving the false negative?

    root@Bell:~# php7.4-sp -i | grep imagick
    /etc/php7.4-sp/conf.d/imagick.ini,
    imagick
    imagick module => enabled
    imagick module version => 3.4.4
    imagick classes => Imagick, ImagickDraw, ImagickPixel, ImagickPixelIterator, ImagickKernel
    imagick.locale_fix => 0 => 0
    imagick.progress_monitor => 0 => 0
    imagick.skip_version_check => 0 => 0
    root@Bell:~#

    You probably need to look at your webhosting account and php settings surrounding, there should be an option where can select your php-version and/or extensions.
    The PHP Extensions page is exactly where you need to be. Just active each plugin one-by-one, only the ones you think are missing or suggested by wp sitehealth.

    And refresh your WP site health page. You will see recommended improvement messages declining.

    I have added a screenshot below for cPanel.
