The era of PHP5 support is coming to an end, marking a new phase in WordPress development. We’ll discuss how this shift from PHP5 to a minimum PHP7 support will impact both the end-users and the WordPress ecosystem at large. The episode will include the implications for those still using PHP5, and the benefits of the change, including reduced memory usage and improved security. Additionally, we’ll analyze how different hosting services have already been adapting to this new standard. This is a critical episode for anyone running a WordPress site and will provide key insights on managing this substantial transition.
