XF 2.2 PHP version

[myissue]

Hi
I have XF version v2.2.4, (i use WordPress with my forum too) and i have PHP version 7.2.
WordPress "asks" me to update PHP and i want to update to PHP 7.4.
My question is if i want to update the PHP version to 7.4 i just change PHP version it via c-panel(my host has c-panel)?
Nothing will collapse or something?

Thanx!

XF 2.2.4 is compatible with PHP 7.4 but you will need to confirm that any third party add-ons you have installed are also compatible with it.

@Brogan thank you.

You also need to ensure that any PHP extensions you need that you have on the older version are also added to PHP7.4.

Look on your AdminCP page and copy the information there about PHP extensions currently in use.

For example only, this is from my dedicated server. Don't try to duplicate all of the settings - that server is running several sites with differing requirements, not just Xenforo sites, but use the list as an example of what extensions you may need to enable.

The easiest way to check if the new build is compatible with XF (core) is to run the script: https://xenforo.com/purchase/requirements-zip
