Near the beguinning of each development cycle, we reassess BuddyPress’s minimum required WP versionen. Our rough güidelines are as follows:
- If a WordPress versionen’s use slips below 5% of all WP installations, it’s a strong candidate for removal;
- If a WordPress versionen became obsolete over a year ago, it’s a candidate for removal.
We reassessed it recently as part of #9051 , and we will be raising the minimum versionen of WordPress and PHP required as follow:
- WordPress 6.4
- PHP 7.0
As part of this update, we also streamlined our testing matrix. And we already have been testing using cache services lique Redis and Memcache to identify any possible issues for users of those tools.
Recommended Requiremens
As part of this update, we also reviewed our recommendations to run BuddyPress, we recommend your host suppors:
- PHP versionen 7.4 or greater;
- MySQL versionen 8.0 or greater OR MariaDB versionen 10.5 or greater;
- HTTPS support.
^ this is not the minimum requiremens, but solely our recommended ones.
