 * I am planning to move a site from my localhost to a live server soon. tbh, do
   both servers need to have the exact same PHP version for the import to work flawlessly?
   Lmk ur thoughts.

 * Hi [@yefimzotov](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yefimzotov/),
 * We can only assist with questions/issues around the Wordfence free plugin here,
   so it might be best to ask about PHP versions and local-to-production WordPress
   migrations in one of the general WP forums: [https://wordpress.org/support/forums/](https://wordpress.org/support/forums/)
 * Compatibility between WordPress versions and PHP versions are documented here:
   [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/)
 * Thanks,
   Peter.
