This is a continuation of the maintenance last week, as we have more servers to upgrade in the specified region.

Pagely will be conducting PHP upgrades for 7.0 to 7.1 for VPS plans. We will be performing this work during the week at off-peak times relative to the region(s) below in order to fully complete the upgrades overall. Each upgrade event will be a separate announcement on our status page.

This maintenance affects customers hosted in the following region(s):

Virginia

If your site is currently running as PHP 5.6, please note that you will not be affected by this event. There will be a separate maintenance for PHP 5.6 sites. We urge any customers still running on PHP 5.6 to switch to PHP 7 mode as soon as possible per our earlier email outreach. You can contact support to gain further assistance.

We will begin on Tuesday, January 29 at 7:00PM and complete by 1:00AM MST Wednesday, January 30 2019.

As of December 3, 2018, PHP 7.0 is no longer receiving security updates. You may review the schedule for PHP releases on this page: http://php.net/supported-versions.php

We will be performing automated upgrades of PHP 7.0 sites to PHP 7.1, which will continue to receive security updates through 2019.

We will be performing basic checks before and after the transition to ensure sites are loading correctly. If we detect any issues, we will reach out to let you know. With that said, this is a fairly low-risk change. WordPress Core, as well as many popular plugins out there, are compatible with PHP 7.1. The most common resolution to most problems is to ensure both core and any installed plugins are updated to the latest version. The most common issue we have seen so far has been with custom or outdated theme functions.

While there is still a very slight chance that your site may experience problems, this update must be applied in order to keep you secure. Rolling back to PHP 7.0 will, unfortunately, not be possible due to its unsupported status.

This maintenance announcement will be updated when the process has started and when it has completed.
