How to Use

  1. 1 Enter hosting PHP (php -v)
  2. 2 Read acceptable / recommended / minimum
  3. 3 Still check each plugin’s requires PHP

Features

  • core/serve-happy/1.0
  • Cached 24h
  • Not a plugin requires_php field

Why it Matters

Hosts linger on 7.4. WordPress.org already publishes whether that is still OK.

★★★★★

PHP version in. WordPress.org serve-happy flags out. Separate from a plugin’s requires PHP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this check my plugins?
