PHP version 7

  • Does anyone see the PHP notice in their WordPress backend?

    “Your site could be faster and more secure with a newer PHP version.
    Hey, we’ve noticed that you’re running an outdated version of PHP. PHP is the programming language that WordPress and Yoast SEO are built on. The version that is currently used for your site is no longer supported. Newer versions of PHP are both faster and more secure. In fact, your version of PHP no longer receives security updates, which is why we’re sending you to this notice.”

    Yoast and some other plugins are putting it there to get users to lobby hosts to support PHP 7. If you host supports it, you should select PHP 7.

    As @sterndata, this is an attempt from plugin authors to force web hosting service to upgrade to PHP 7.

    Just be careful, though, as not all themes and plugins are compatible with it. Contacting their respective authors or checking their changelog will help you get settled about the PHP 7 compatibility.
