I am trying to install Worpdress into a Subfolder to begin building a new site.
When I try to install Wordpress I receive an error message that PHP does not meet the minimum requirements.
How to I update PHP to the latest version?
Updating PHP will not effect the current live website.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello Prana, I hope you are well. A few days ago, I also updated to latest PHP version without any error. And PHP update does not affect my website and its settings.
How to Update?
First, check which PHP version you are using. You can do this by going to Events Settings → Help in your wp-admin and checking out your system information, like in the following screenshot:
If you’re using PHP version 5.5 or below, you’ll want to begin thinking about making this change. If your web host provides a cPanel for administering your site’s server, you can often find one-click installs of more recent PHP versions.
Otherwise, you can contact your host to make this switch easier. Usually, all that’s required is a quick ping to their support team asking for a PHP version increase.
