Hi!
What’s your PHP version?
Since last update, 5.4 is the minimum required.
Hello,
I had the same problem when updating from 2.1.7.2 to 2.1.8.
I got a blank screen when trying to reach the welcome page and could not have any view on the WP dashboard (the black one) when connecting has wp admin.
I have the 4.8.2 WP version.
Effectively my webserver is on PHP 5.3.3 version.
Will you please confirm me that it is the cause of this problem.
Thank you.
Hello,
yes, since 2.1.8, PHP 5.4 is the minimum required to use SEOPress.
PHP 5.3 was released in June 2009. It’s super old now, several security vulnerabilities etc…
We strongly recommend to upgrade to PHP 7.1 in addition to the fact that it brings a considerable performance gain.
Thank you rainbowgeek for your quick confirmation.
On a hosting web site with the 5.6 PHP version, I have no problem.
I will follow your advice and update my development tools it is an arror because I am not an expert as you are.
Have a nice afternoon.
Since SEOPress 2.2 we added compatibility with php 5.3 but we strongly encourage you to migrate to php 7.1.
Merci Benjamin de ce développement qui permettra de détecter la version de php avant la mise à jour et d’éviter les bugs pour les retardataires de mises à jour comme moi.
Cordialement.
Thanks very much Benjamin for this update which will detect the php version before going further in the update process of your plugin and making bugs for old websites php version.
Sincerely.
