PHP Update Required Error in WordPress – Fixing & Troubleshooting Service
Seeing “PHP Update Required” in WordPress can break features and sales. Outdated PHP causes fatal errors, white screens, and plugin/theme failures. It also risks security, performance, and compatibility with modern WordPress core. Hosts may auto-switch versions and trigger unexpected issues. Some plugins require PHP 8.0+ or 8.1+, while your site still uses 7.x. Others fail because deprecated functions changed in PHP 8.x.
We handle fixing and troubleshooting only. No generic installs or guesswork. We audit your stack, test compatibility, and safely move to a stable PHP version. We patch code where feasible, replace incompatible components, and configure the server correctly. We verify admin, frontend, and checkout flows after the fix. For a flat $79, your site runs on a secure, supported PHP version—fast and stable.
