Updating Website to PHP 7
-
Hi,
For security reasons and an increase in speed I want to update the PHP version of my WordPress website to PHP 7. WordPress also strongly recommends the latest version of PHP on their requirements page, https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/.
More information about currently supported versions of PHP can be found here: http://php.net/supported-versions.php.
I’ve heard that sometimes a website can break when updating the PHP version. Can you assist me and update my site safely to PHP 7?
Thanks!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
The forum you’ve posted in only provides support for sites hosted here at WordPress.com.
If you need support for a WordPress site hosted somewhere other than here at WordPress.com , please try posting your question in the WordPress.org support forums.
To learn about the differences between the two versions of WordPress (.com vs.org), please see this guide.
Good luck!

Hi debrasdetailsdesigns,
As your site is self-hosted (w/ Bluehost is my assumption), it’s worth calling Bluehost for assistance upgrading your PHP version.
If you need further assistance, I’d reach out to the WordPress.org support forums, as garysixtyeight suggested doing.
Regards,
Jay -
