Configuring PHP settings

Change the PHP version and runtime limits for your site.

Written by Daniel

PHP is the language WordPress runs on. Console lets you choose its version and adjust the runtime limits your site needs.


Open PHP settings

Open your site, then under Hosting select PHP.


The PHP settings page


What you can change

  • PHP Version: the version of PHP your site runs on. Newer versions are faster and more secure.

  • Memory Limit: how much memory a single PHP process can use.

  • Max Execution Time: how long a script can run before it is stopped.

  • Upload Max Filesize and Post Max Size: the largest file and form submission your site will accept.

  • Max Input Vars and Max Input Time: limits that matter for large forms and imports.


Save your changes

Choose your values and click Save. If you are not sure, the defaults suit most sites.
