WordPress and PHP Compatibility

When setting up a WordPress site, it is helpful to determine the compatibilities of the technologies you are planning on using so that you do not run into issues later in your development. In particular, assure that the following components are compatible with each other:

  • Theme version
  • WordPress version. For example, you might not want the latest version.
  • Plug-in version
  • PHP version
  • Database version

The above need to be compatible from the start. The below reference can help to assure that your WordPress components are compatible with your PHP selection:

How to Fix the Invalid JSON Response Error in WordPress

Per hubspot:

  • Go to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard.
  • Click the Save Changes button. Even if you didn’t change anything, you should still click the save changes button because it will force WordPress to regenerate its rewrite rules.
  • Verify that the correct permalink structure is selected — If the correct structure is already selected, you don’t need to change anything.
