Php version 8.3 compatible?
by juliettemaison1992·6 months ago
For security reasons, WordPress is asking me to upgrade my PHP version to 8.3. New versions of PHP receive regular security updates and improve your site’s performance, and this is the minimum recommended version of PHP.
However, when checking compatibility with your plugin, it seems that it only accepts PHP 8, not the next version, is that right?
