• PHP 7.4+
• MySQL 8.0+
• WordPress 

Required modules and server configurations

• The mod_rewrite module for Apache servers (if using pretty permalinks)
• An SSL certificate (if using an on-site payment gateway)
• PHP cURL module (most payment gateways require this)
• fsockopen support (some payment gateways require this)

To ensure your WordPress site runs smoothly and securely, it’s important to verify that your hosting provider uses up-to-date software. Outdated server configurations can lead to compatibility issues with plugins, themes, and even WordPress itself.

We recommend reaching out to your hosting provider to confirm the following:

• PHP Version: The latest supported version for optimal performance.
• MySQL or MariaDB Version: Up-to-date database software for better speed and reliability.
• Server Configuration: Regular updates to web server software (e.g., Apache or NGINX) ensure compatibility and security.

If you find that your host is using older versions, ask them about upgrading or consider moving to a host that prioritizes modern, secure configurations.
