[BUSINESS] my host emailed me they want to upgrade the php

My host sent an email that they want to upgrade the php on my server but I have to agree to it. My question is will my scripts work on this upgraded php. How can you tell if the plugins on my WP blogs will be okay, is there a way to find out. Are plugins naturally fine on the latest php?

I also use TE on one of my domains.

What version are they upgrading you to? If you have issues you can always switch it back. If you have cpanel go to software, select php version. Takes you less than a minute to do.

Hi HeidiHoe I just did that in Cpanel it says 5.6.39 whatever that means.

Wow. Yeah, you need to upgrade. Php 7.4 should run e erything fine unless you have some ancient stuff running. Not sure about php 8, but like I said you can always select a different version within cpanel. After you've upgraded you should see an improvement in speed.

Thanks I will email them now to go do the upgrade.
