Wordpress 3.2 And Future Upgrades Notice

[mahesh2k 0]

I don't know if you are aware of this news that wordpress 3.2 requirements are higher. I know that most of the servers here are already giving update issue. So just wanted to ask if Xisto - Web Hosting is ready for this new update. I mean all that wordpress is asking is that upgrade to PHP 5.2 and Mysql 5.0.1. I don't know if this action will be taken unless we raise this issue. So just want to post this thread for others. If you get failure from 3.1 onwards on Xisto - Web Hosting then please ask or request tech support team and opaque to upgrade the server requirements. I don't know if this will be done unless large number of people request it in forums.

You can check this blog post for end of the 2010 scheduled upgrade of wordpress. Those who have access to opaque please notify with this blog post link in this thread.

You can also use healthcheck plugin to see if final 3.2 version will be allowed or just 3.1 will be allowed here.

I know that this thread will remain uncommented or go in sink but all those who are using wordpress please take it to technical support team and let them know about this future upgrade. Or else you will have to keep hosting with old wordpress version which may prone to hacking attacks or other security issues.

My account shows PHP 5.2.9 and MySQL 5.0.91. I wouldn't expect paid hosting accounts to be any lower than this. I don't really require MySQL for my site, but some of my scripts require at least PHP 5.2, and they work fine on my account. If anyone were to experience any problem while installing WordPress, i wouldn't expect it to be due to failure of meeting the PHP and MySQL minimum version requirement.

Paid hosting and free hosting have exactly same feature after addition of mycents and perhaps share the same -shared hosting servers. So there is no difference with the technical features. Wordpress 3.2 has requirements of PHP 5.2 or higher, and MySQL 5.0.15 or higher (checked again on that blog post). My one of hosting control panel shows PHP 5.2.9 and MySQL 5.0.91 (just like yours).
