What PHP modules is needed?

Support
#1

Hello you guys.
So currently i made a homepage with pro theme for our new homepage for my job.

My network guy is starting to create the server etc for it.
I am now getting the question. What php version / php Modules is needed.

Can you help me out with this? DO the themeco theme need any php modules to work?
As far as version goes, i have decided to go with php version 7.3 ( from what i can read, it should work with whatever wordpress says is ok. )

But cant find anything about what modules is needed.

By googling around, it seems like this list is the min requirement for wordpress itself?

hope you can help out, sorry if i am all wrong here :slight_smile:

dom
gmagick
SimpleXML
ssh2
xml
xmlreader
curl
date
exif
filter
ftp
gd
hash
iconv
imagick
json
libxml
mbstring
mysqli
openssl
pcre
posix
sockets
SPL
tokenizer
zlib
And these are recommended:

gmagick
ssh2
exif
imagick

Hi Aske,

Thanks for writing in! As for the PHP version, anything between v5.6.x and v7.3.x should be compatible with X/Pro themes. Since PHP v7.3.x is the latest version, you can switch to v7.2.x if you run into any issues.

As to PHP extensions or modules. The following are some of the most important ones.

  • openssl
  • allow_url_fopen
  • gd library
  • curl extension

You may need other modules according to your other plugin’s requirements or the customizations that you’re adding into your site.

Also there are some extensions recommended by WP-CLI as well, which you can read from here (https://github.com/johnbillion/ext).

Hope that helps.
