    A big part of my job is migrating websites from a server with older versions of php, (php 7.2, 7.3), to a server with the latest php version. Duplicator works great and I like using it, but I have to use Duplicator version 1.5.9 rather than the latest version because it doesn’t work on an older server. I’d like to suggest that Duplicator be made compatible with those older versions of php so I could use the latest version to migrate the sites. Thanks for your time.

    Hi @visionlinemedia ,

    Thank you for your valuable feedback regarding Duplicator and older PHP versions (7.2, 7.3). We understand you’re using Duplicator 1.5.9 for these environments and wish the latest version offered broader compatibility.

    The latest Duplicator versions are developed to leverage modern PHP capabilities for improved performance, security, and features. This aligns with recent WordPress versions, which officially support PHP 7.4 and higher. As Duplicator Pro works seamlessly with WordPress, its development also follows these elevated PHP requirements to ensure optimal compatibility and performance with current WordPress installations.

    This means for sites on PHP 7.2 or 7.3, Duplicator 1.5.9 is indeed the correct choice. For newer PHP/WordPress installations, the latest Duplicator Pro is optimized.

    We appreciate your suggestion and will keep it in mind for future planning.

    Thanks again for your input!

    Best regards.
