Xampp Win: Error gd, is not installed, or has been disabled

  • Hi

    I have XAMPP for Windows 8.1.12 installed.

    I am using WordPress 6.1.1 and the latest Divi theme.

    A friend setup WordPress on his VPS and I started building my website. I then decided to migrate it to my local machine partly as a trial for migrating it to the actual server it will reside one.

    On his server site health reports no issues but on localhost (Xampp) site health is telling me:

    The optional module, imagick, is not installed, or has been disabled.
    Error The required module, gd, is not installed, or has been disabled.
    Warning The optional module, intl, is not installed, or has been disabled.

    I’ve done some research including on ApacheFriends forums. Is it straightforward to installed these modules?

  • You have to modify the php.ini file. Search for
    ;extension=gd
    ;extension=intl

    and remove the ;

    Thanks MW.

    You didn’t mention ImageMagick and I’ve just read a lot about installing it and what it does and as I am not planning to edit images in WordPress I guess I don’t need it.
