    I was anticipating the minimum PHP requirement by November 1st to be 7.4, and I have one legacy site we’re working to get migrated to a different server, but for now it’s saying I can update. Wanted to see if there was an official stance on this? Thanks.

    Hi @aldesigner

    We recommend PHP version 7.4 or above.

    You mentioned, “I have one legacy site we’re working to get migrated to a different server, but for now it’s saying I can update” – are you facing this from Yoast SEO?

    Can you please provide us with screenshots that highlight the update notice you are experiencing on legacy website?

    You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

    Thanks for getting back, @611shabnam. I typically use ManageWP, but in this case I was logged into this particular site’s dashboard and viewing the active plugin page.

    The usual red warning that I’ve seen before on other plugins when PHP wasn’t compatible is not displaying, which I understand only appears when the plugin has a minimum PHP explicitly set. Since 23.8 isn’t displaying that message, and getting this site migrated isn’t going to finish soon, I wanted to check if updating while still on PHP 7.2.5 would work. I’ll rather hold off updating if more than very minor issues could occur, but I understand why your team may want to take a softer approach to enforcing the PHP limit so as to not feel like it’s locking people out.
