Host Requirements For Good Usage: Wedding WordPress theme Documentation

Note: This part of the Wedding theme documentation is on the bases of the official WordPress.org site https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

To run WordPress we recommend your host supports

  • Firstly, PHP version 7 or greater
  • Secondly, MySQL version 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.0 or greater

That’s really it. As a result, we recommend Apache or Nginx as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. That said, we can’t test every possible environment; each host on our hosting page supports the above and more with no problems.

Note: If you are in a legacy environment where you only have older PHP or MySQL versions, WordPress also works with PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions have reached official End Of Life and may expose your site to security vulnerabilities. So, we on the Wedding theme documentation recommend and support the latest version

Ask for it

So, here’s a letter you can send to your host; copy and paste!

I’m interested in running the open-source WordPress https://wordpress.org/ web software and I was wondering if my account supported the following:

– Firstly, PHP 7 or greater

– Secondly, MySQL 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB 10.0 or greater

– The mod_rewrite Apache module

– Finally, HTTPS support

Thanks!

Hosting is more secure when PHP applications like WordPress run your account’s username instead of the server’s default username. So, ask your potential host what steps they take to ensure the security of your account.

Why do we support older versions?

Finally, we strongly recommend the latest versions of PHP and MySQL. However, we understand that this isn’t right for everyone and that sometimes hosts can be slow or hesitant to upgrade their customers since upgrades to PHP and MySQL have historically broken applications. In conclusion, WordPress will always work on the latest versions of PHP and MySQL, which are often faster and more stable.

Finally, thank you for much for reading our Wedding theme documentation.
