Before you begin, please review the system requirements below. Meeting these requirements guarantees smooth installation, optimal performance, and full compatibility.
WordPress Version
- Minimum required: WordPress 5.0.0 or higher
- Using the latest version of WordPress is strongly recommended for compatibility and security.
PHP Version
- Minimum required: PHP 7.4
- Newer versions (8.0 or higher) are recommended for better speed, stability, and security.
- Running outdated PHP may cause unexpected issues with performance or plugin functionality.
Database Requirements
- MySQL: Version 5.6 or higher
- MariaDB: Version 10.1 or higher
- These are the same database requirements as WordPress itself, so most modern servers will already be compatible.
