    When I’m trying to redirect a user from HTTP to HTTPS page he always receives the error ‘Your server is running PHP version 5.4.37 but WordPress 5.2.3 requires at least 5.6.20.’.

    Which is not true because I use PHP version 7.0.33. This version mentioned in my admin panel. Can you tell me what’s wrong? Thank you!

    Hi @sergeyprogramace

    It seems the site is working fine when we use https instead of HTTP.

    I.e https://program-ace.com/contact-us/ link works fine if it is accessed using https and does not work if accessed using HTTP.

    This means at your server PHP 7 is working for SSL port i.e 443 only & not for port 80 (HTTP port).

    So I request you to check this at the server level and either configure PHP 7 for HTTP port as well. Or in WordPress do force SSL, so that each time your site runs as SSL only.

    However, if in case you require to do any server-level modifications do consult with server team once.

    Hope you get some head start with the above explanation.

    Thanks.

    Also, shouldn’t that be PHP 7.2 or higher now?

    I’m just wondering if that 7.0.X is causing part of the problem and I always think port 80 should always be working ‘just in case’.

    My guess is it does work at the server level.

    I do appreciate this topic is I’d not seen a problem exactly like this before or never recognized it or knew what caused it. Thanks @aksdvp

    I’m still learning!

    I do it in the /etc/apache2/sites-available file.

    I use server alias for www and just the domain back to the Servername.

    Redirect permanent / https://wp.mylibertarianblogpage.com

    Redirect makes all traffic to the site https.

    <VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName wp.mylibertarianblogpage.com
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    ServerAlias http://www.mylibertarianblogpage.com mylibertarianblogpage.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/wp.mylibertarianblogpage.com/public_html

    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/*.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/*.key
    SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt

    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/wp.mylibertarianblogpage.com/error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/wp.mylibertarianblogpage.com/access.log combined

    <Directory /var/www/wp.mylibertarianblogpage.com>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All

    </VirtualHost>

    <VirtualHost *:80>
