PHP 8.1 End of Life – Act Now

PHP 8.1 goes end of life on the 31 December 2025. After this date, known security flaws will no longer be fixed, leaving your sites exposed to significant security vulnerabilities.

It is important to update to a newer version of PHP. We recommend upgrading to one of the latest supported versions — all of which include new features and backward-incompatible changes that should be thoroughly tested before deployment in a production environment.

You may need to ask your developers to update your codebase, verify plugin compatibility, and ensure your applications are supported on newer PHP versions.

Supported PHP Versions:

• PHP 8.2: Supported until 31 December 2026 
• PHP 8.3: Supported until 31 December 2027
• PHP 8.4: Supported until 31 December 2028  (Note: PHP 8.4 is still in Beta Support for WordPress and may not be fully compatible yet.)
