Hi all,
I'm running wordpress on two Leap 15.1 systems, but (from the built in health check in WP 5.4):
"Your site is running an older version of PHP (7.2.5) PHP is the programming language used to build and maintain WordPress. Newer versions of PHP are faster and more secure, so staying up to date will help your site’s overall performance and security. The minimum recommended version of PHP is 7.3."
This is ok, think of this like kernel packages where version numbers don't matter so much. SUSE's packaging team will backport any security fixes from 7.3 to 7.2
It's a bit startling seeing WP and Leap 15.1 mentioned in the same sentence, particularly given the aforementioned 'health check' (what a PITA!)
Are these dev / test / learning or production WP installations?
If the latter, you might want to consider choosing a distribution which is focused on supporting LTS web hosting environments, even if through using something like Docker.
Leap should work fine as an LTS hosting environment (if you are happy to upgrade onceish a year to the next Leap point version) Leap uses the same php packages as SUSE Linux Enterprise. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
