 * I want to add a new plugin “Unbounce” on this site but this plugin’s confirmed
   that our PHP version now 7.1 does not support this plugin so we are going to 
   upgrade. I have contacted our hosting, HostGator, and made PHP upgrade to 7.2.
   However, the hosting’s affirmed that the scripting of my website is not supporting
   the new versions of PHP. What should I do now to make our site is comparable 
   with PHP 7.2.Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-upgrade-12%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You’re using WordPress 5.8.1, which is compatible up to PHP 8.
 * So, unless it’s a specific plugin or theme, or some other site under your hosting,
   you should have no trouble.
 * If it is a specific plugin or theme, I recommend taking the time now to find 
   alternatives.
 * I also recommend asking your hosting provider for specifics on what they reported.

 * I have contacted my hosting, but they’ve confirmed there are some files, plugins
   that need to be upgraded. They have not told me which specific file should be.
   Is there any chance to find the specific plugin or theme causing the incomparable
   within PHP upgrade? Thanks!

 * I have tried this plugin but it takes too long to scan and has not completed 
   yet. Is there another way to check? Thanks!

 * Besides just upgrading PHP and seeing what happens, that’s the only automated
   one I know of.
 * You could also check each plugin and theme’s entry on the directories here. The
   minimum PHP version will be listed in the sidebar.

 * [@macmanx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) where can I check the

 * In the right sidebar of the directory entries here.
 * For example, Jetpack is listed as PHP 5.6 and higher: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/)
 * And, Twenty Twenty-One is listed as PHP 5.6 and higher: [https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentyone/](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentyone/)
