I've installed wordpress on my site (not with Wordpress.com but the version you can install on your own site). I quickly noticed that there was a notification that I should upgrade my PHP to version 7.4. Someone told me to be careful about upgrading PHP because it could interfere with other installed software. I have an Invision forum installed at my site too, so my question is: Can I safely ask my hosting company to upgrade my PHP to 7.4 without affecting Invision Board?

 

Thanks in advance for any help,

Hello, IPS from version 4.5, compatible with 7.4 PHP😉

 

Someone told me to be careful about upgrading PHP because it could interfere with other installed software.

Yes, however IPS is not currently compatible with PHP 8.0. Make sure you stay on 7.x for now.
