PHP 8.4 Support Now Available on Wordify
We’re excited to announce that PHP 8.4 support is now available for all new WordPress sites created on Wordify. This latest version of PHP brings enhanced performance, improved security, and new features that help your WordPress sites run faster and more efficiently.
What’s New
PHP 8.4 for New Sites
Starting today, you can select PHP 8.4 when creating new WordPress sites on Wordify. This cutting-edge version includes:
- Performance improvements for faster page load times
- Enhanced security features to keep your sites protected
- Better memory management for more efficient resource usage
- New language features for developers building custom WordPress solutions
Rolling Out to Existing Sites
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be making PHP 8.4 available as an upgrade option for all existing sites.
PHP 8.3 Now the Default
With WordPress officially removing the “beta support” label from PHP 8.3 in July 2025, we’re making it the default PHP version for all new WordPress sites. This change reflects WordPress core team’s confidence in PHP 8.3’s stability and compatibility.
As noted in the WordPress Core team’s recent announcement, PHP 8.3 has proven itself as a reliable, production-ready version that offers excellent performance and security for WordPress sites.
Why This Matters for Your Sites
- Security: Newer PHP versions include important security patches
- Performance: Each PHP release typically includes speed improvements
- Compatibility: Ensures your site works with the latest WordPress features and plugins
