Update Your WordPress Site to PHP 7.3

PHP is the most popular server-side programming language, and it’s used for all WordPress sites. There are new versions of PHP released every few months by the PHP developers. It's strongly recommended that all WordPress sites upgrade to the latest version, PHP 7.3.

Unfortunately, the majority of WordPress sites are still running on PHP 5.6 or lower. As of December 31, 2018, PHP 5.6 will no longer receive security support and the code will become unstable and less secure.

If your website is not currently running on PHP 7.3, you’ll first need to run compatibility tests on your website. There are several features in PHP 5.6 or lower versions that have been removed from 7.3. Also, WordPress plugins and themes run on PHP and there are a lot of plugins and themes that haven’t been updated to 7.3. If you skip the compatibility tests, you could have major issues and aspects of your website may break once you update to PHP 7.3.
