Minimum PHP requirements
If you encounter any issue listed below, it is related to low PHP configuration limits:
- Can’t upload the theme to your site

- White screen
- Can’t install plugins on the dashboard
- Internal Server Error

The solution is to increase those PHP configuration limits. Please log into your hosting cPanel and change them. Or you can try to contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:
| max_execution_time | 30 |
|---|---|
| max_input_time | 60 |

About PHP:
- PHP Version – The minimum PHP version required for PatioTime is 5.6, but we recommend always using the latest stable version of PHP whenever possible. And WordPress recommends using PHP 7+ (please refer to this article: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ ).
- For your security – PHP versions lower than 7.0 have reached the official end of their life cycle and may expose your site to security vulnerabilities. We strongly recommend that you no longer use the old PHP version, please always update to the latest version (Supported Versions of PHP).
In most cases you cannot update the PHP version yourself and need to contact your host about this. The upgrade process is an easy process and should be something your host can do for you without impacting your website or charging you a fee.
