 Best Practices for PHP Compatibility
 To proactively manage PHP compatibility and minimize potential issues,
 consider adopting these best practices:

 Use Supported PHP Versions: Keep your PHP version up to date with the
 recommended versions for your WordPress installation. This ensures that
 you benefit from the latest features, performance improvements, and
 security patches.

 Thorough Testing: Before upgrading PHP or making significant changes to
 your WordPress environment, conduct thorough testing in a staging
 environment. This allows you to identify and resolve compatibility issues
 before they impact your live site.

 Regular Updates: Stay informed about the latest WordPress releases and
 update your installation promptly. WordPress updates often include
 enhancements to ensure compatibility with contemporary PHP versions.

 Backup Procedures: Implement robust backup procedures before making any
 major updates to your WordPress core or PHP version. This provides a
 safety net in case unexpected issues arise during the update process.
