Notice: PHP 7.3 Coming to VIP Go

After an initial testing period, and the resolution of compatibility issues surfaced during that time, we are proceeding with a planned upgrade to PHP 7.3 on all VIP Go environments during the next few weeks.

Schedule

April 8: Upgrade of all non-production environments on VIP Go
April 23: Upgrade of all production environments on VIP Go

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 contact VIP support if you need help resolving issues.
