We’re pausing our previously stated timeline for the rollout of PHP 7.3. We have rolled back all non-production environments to PHP 7.2 and will not be upgrading production environments to PHP 7.3 on February 25 as previously stated.
In order to provide the most secure and stable platform experience, WordPress.com VIP team is actively working to ensure our platform’s full compatibility with the latest build of PHP 7.3. Our initial testing uncovered some platform compatibility issues, which we are currently working to resolve.
When we have a new timeline for the release of PHP 7.3 on VIP Go, we’ll publish it here, in the VIP Lobby.
We do plan to upgrade both the VIP Go and WordPress.com platforms to PHP 7.3, so we encourage you to test for compatibility, as well as inform us if you need assistance resolving any issues.
