WP and PHP Runtime

What this area tracks

WP and PHP shows runtime versions, available updates, compatibility signals, and maintenance results for WordPress core and PHP across the workspace.

Before updating

• Create or verify a recent backup.
• Run the update in a CanaryWP testing environment first.
• Check plugin and theme compatibility before changing major versions.
• Run Site Testing after the update.

Update strategy

Prefer smaller, reviewable updates. Patch and minor updates usually carry lower risk than major WordPress, PHP, plugin, or theme changes.
