Still running PHP 7.4? If you’re seeing warnings in your WordPress dashboard about outdated PHP versions, it’s time to upgrade — and Foxtrot Media is here to help you do it safely and easily.
⚠️ What This Warning Means
WordPress displays this message when your server is running an old version of PHP — the scripting language that powers WordPress. PHP 7.4 stopped receiving security updates, which puts your site at risk and may slow it down.
💡 Why Upgrade to PHP 8?
- Security: PHP 8+ is actively supported and patched.
- Speed: Faster load times and improved performance.
- Compatibility: Newer plugins and themes may stop working with older PHP versions.
- Future-Proof: WordPress is moving forward, and so should your stack.
