Update required

keep getting asked to update my php for my website, but especially for WooCommerce. This latest message came just a few days ago.

This message appears constantly on my Dashboard and every once in a while will go away, but soon re-appears.

I know WP is constantly updating and WA is constantly updating, but this seems ridiculous in its frequency.

Word Press is saying my version of php is insecure.


I can only assume that others here in WA are receiving the same messages about updating PHP as it has to be done at the server level. But I thought I would reach out to the community to see if others are seeing the same message or not? If others are not seeing this maybe I will need to contact Site Support to see what can be done.

It is dangerous to assume so.....

So is everyone seeing this, or is it just me.?

I would appreciate knowing if others have this issue or not.

I haven't noticed it, Alexander, but I'll have to take a look now that you've brought this potential problem to the forefront!

It was related to Marion's comment below. My site was still on the old servers. Site support will migrate it to the new servers which should take ~24 hours total and then the problem should be solved.

That's good to know, Alexander! I'm glad you got it sorted out! 👍

I haven't noticed that. I hope you find a solution soon.

Thank you

The old servers are running on an outdated version of PHP. Contact Site Support and ask them to move your websites to the new server which is running on a later version.

Thanks Marion. This is indeed the case as Site Support has confirmed and they will migrate my site to the new servers.

It may be a great question for site support.
Hope you get the answer you need.
