Important Update for MultilingualPress Users

Starting with version 5.0.0, MultilingualPress requires PHP 8.0 or higher to function properly. This update improves security, performance, and compatibility for your multilingual WordPress sites.

Our Recommendation: Use PHP 8.2 or Newer

While PHP 8.0 is the minimum requirement, we strongly recommend updating to PHP 8.2 or a newer version.

Why Updating Your PHP Version is Crucial

How to Update Your PHP Version

PHP version management is handled by your hosting provider. Here’s how to proceed:

  1. Create a Full Backup: Before making any changes, always create a complete backup of your website (both files and database). This is a critical safety step.
  2. Check Your Hosting Control Panel: Most hosting providers offer a tool in their control panel (e.g., cPanel, Plesk, or a custom panel) to change your site’s PHP version. Look for options like “PHP Version Manager,” “Select PHP Version,” or similar.
  3. Consult Hosting Documentation: Review your hosting provider’s official documentation for detailed instructions specific to their platform.
  4. Contact Hosting Support: If you are unsure how to proceed, cannot find the option, or prefer assistance, contact your hosting provider’s support team. They can guide you or perform the update for you.

What Happens If You Don’t Update to PHP 8.0+?

Stay Secure and Up-to-Date

We strongly recommend updating your PHP environment to at least version 8.0, and preferably 8.2 or newer. This ensures that MultilingualPress runs smoothly, your site remains secure, and you continue to benefit from our full support and the latest plugin advancements.
