pardon my ignorance here and forgive me if this IS in some writing I missed but Ive recently started setting up the server and installation for our new company intranet. I unfortunately am not building the site. Offered but the company would rather spend money when not needed.
Upon receiving the wordpress export of the constructed site (yes this company paid a pretty decent sum for a wordpress site) and trying to import it I received an error stating that my php was version 5 while the site was constructed using 7. I checked and I am def running the latest version of XAMMP and it has 7.25 in the PHPmyAdmin specs but when I went into the PHP ini it did say it was PHP5.6.*
Is there a discrepancy in the versions? I of course checked to late and already reverted my HypV installation to a pre imported stage but before importing again I wanted to be sure there wasnt
a) a bug or error in the latest install
b) something I might need to change or activate
c) bad installer on the site
Im more than likely thinking its something stupid like on line in a config I might need to change a 5 to a 7 but I want to be sure. When I completed their import I could not log in using their credentials for the WP backend so I was curious if a PHP mismatch might be able to cause this.
All of this could have been avoided had they just let me change a theme on our current intranet, lol, but man do people love spending other peoples money!
Thanks guys
