# Using AI to update site code?

 * Is this reality today?
 * My (self-hosted wp) site was last put together in 2019 and php has moved on since
   then. It’s fine with php 7.4 but soon my host will mandate 8.3+ and, of course,
   that breaks my site.
 * Claude Code has been suggested to me as an option for a fix.
 * Back to my first line, is this reality today or are the pitfalls too much to 
   take a chance? Thanks!

 * Hi [@billnanson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/billnanson/) –
 * Based on what you wrote here, this issue doesn’t sound specific to the Jetpack
   plugin, so we can’t advise on the best path forward.
 * I’d recommend reaching out to your host for assistance as they may have logging
   and other tools that can help you determine exactly what is breaking when you
   switch to PHP v8.3. Alternatively, you might want to consider asking for advice
   in the general support forums:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/forums/](https://wordpress.org/support/forums/)
 * I’m going to mark this thread as resolved since it doesn’t involved Jetpack. 
   However, if you have questions about Jetpack in the future, feel free to open
   a new thread.

 * No worries! I hope you find assistance and we’re always here if you need help
   with something Jetpack-related. 🙂
