System Requirements

Your website hosting server should match basic WordPress requirements first https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

To run WordPress, it’s recommended your host supports:

  • PHP version 7.4 or greater.

  • MySQL version 8.0 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.5 or greater.

  • HTTPS support

That’s really it. Apache or Nginx is recommended as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do. That said, for the smoothest experience in setting up—and running—your site, each host on the hosting page supports the above and more with no problems.

For detailed PHP extension recommendations, see the Hosting Handbook.

PHP configuration limits. In this case, you need to increase some values. You can do this on your own or contact your hosting providers and ask them to increase parameters to the following requirements:

  • Memory_limit : 512M

  • Post_max_size 128M

  • upload_max_filesize 64M

  • max_execution_time 900

  • max_input_vars 10000

Additional Requirements:

  • cURL and OpenSSL enabled

  • PHP GD Library for image processing

  • Google Maps API Key (if using Google Maps integration)
