    Hi!

    I’m currently on PHP 5.3.2, and just learned that this was not the latest version. Have learnt that both speed and PHP memory usage will be better when upgraded.

    On my web hotel, I can upgrade to a number of different versions.

    I honestly have no clue why there are so many to chose from. From your perspective, can I update the PHP, or are there any risks? Or should I even do it? If I should, what PHP version would you suggest?

    Sincerely

    Christoffer

    Hi there,

    Thanks for writing in! WordPress recommends PHP v5.6.x and most plugins required v5.6.x or above. So you can update your PHP version to v5.6.30.

    Hope that helps.
