On February 1, 2021, the WordPress VIP team will be deploying PHP 7.4 to non-production environments on VIP Go as part of our PHP 7.4 release schedule. This is a minor version upgrade for PHP bringing new features and bug fixes to the VIP Go platform.
Non-production environments refer to develop and preprod environments, when using the default naming convention, and extends to include environments with custom names; staging or uat for example.
We plan to deploy PHP 7.4 to production environments on February 23, 2021.
If you would like to update your environments before these dates, please open a support ticket with the WordPress VIP team.
Review compatibility scans in GitHub
In December 2020, the WordPress VIP team proactively scanned your VIP Go codebases and created GitHub issues for potential incompatibilities that were identified. We encourage you to review these issues in your VIP Go GitHub repository along with the official Migrating from PHP 7.3.x to PHP 7.4.x guide.
Should you have any questions, please open a support ticket with the WordPress VIP team and we’ll assist you.
