On February 23, 2021, the WordPress VIP team will be deploying PHP 7.4 to 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.
Your production environment is the environment serving your end users requests and storing live data. VIP Go applications also commonly have develop and pre-prod environments and PHP 7.4 was deployed to these on December 15, 2020 and February 1, 2021 respectively.Â
If you would like to update your production environment before February 23, 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.
Hi there,
We still need to test a plugin (Simple SAML) before the PHP 7.4 upgrade. Is it possible to delay the upgrade to PHP for our production site ( chanzuckerberg.com)?
