Minimum Server Requirements to run X theme

Support
#1

Hello,

Thank you for all of the help in the past. We would like to run this theme on an outdated server running php 5.2.16. The environment is such that I must do all updates via ftp. The client refuses to migrate from the hosting account because his whole business is tied up in 30 Plus email accounts that he doesn’t want to migrate to a new server.

We are making word press work in this situation but it is tedious. Will the X theme run on such a php version? I will purchase another license if so. I hope so anyway. We need a theme like X for this site.

Thank you in advance, Ed Sanders

Hi There,

To use X, please make sure you are running WordPress 4.6 or higher, PHP 5.6 or higher, and MySQL 5.6 or higher.

Recommended PHP Configuration Limits:

  • max_execution_time 180
  • memory_limit 128M
  • post_max_size 32M
  • upload_max_filesize 32M

I need to increase post_max_size and upload_max_filesize to 32. I followed the instructions here and they don’t work for me. Any suggestion?

Hi @ltona,

Thanks for writing around! You need to contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase post_max_size and upload_max_filesize for you.

Cheers!

Hi Andre,

At this point, we recommend to use PHP v5.6.x or later to avoid incompatibility issues. We don’t recommend the latest PHP version which is v7.2.x, so you can use one version below.

Max script execution time you can increase it to 300 if required (https://www.simplified.guide/php/increase-max-execution-time).
PHP memory limit of 512MB is recommended. You can use our guide on how to increase it if required (https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/troubleshooting-increasing-php-memory-limit/16935).

Hope that helps.
