 * Dear All,
 * I am experiencing the following problem and hope someone can let me know how 
   to address it.
 * As someone who doesn’t know anything about websites etc, I created a site using
   WordPress that is now also active. Now I receive a message from my host that 
   I need to update the PHP version of my domain. However, when I do that, there
   are some pages on my site that no longer open. So I restored the PHP version.
   My host says they can’t change anything about this.
 * I hope someone can help me with this and let me know what to do.
 * Greetings Arkin

 * 1) What PHP version did you upgrade to? Your site is currently running PHP/8.0.30.
 * 2) What’s the exact error message you’re seeing and on what page?
 * WordPress itself will work fine with new PHP versions `8.1`, `8.2` and `8.3`.
   But that’s WordPress: your theme and plugins may or may not be compatible.
 * We need more details about what PHP version and what specific problem(s) you’re
   seeing before we can offer any assistance.
 * (I’m also surprised that your host is forcing you to upgrade from PHP/8.0 — but
   that’s a different conversation that doesn’t belong here.)

 * Dear George,
 * Thank you for your response.
   I had to update from 8.0 to 8.1, for example, because
   8.0 is no longer a free version.I was a bit hesitant to update all the plugins(
   even the ones I don’t actively use). But now after your advice I have updated
   everything and all pages work as they should. Glad you helped me with this.I 
   hope things continue to go well.
