Our defined minimum supported versions for WordPress and PHP are set as follows:

-
-The active major version of WordPress from one year prior (e.g. when [6.0](https://wordpress.org/news/2022/05/arturo/) was released this would mean [5.7](https://wordpress.org/news/2021/03/esperanza/) is minimum supported version)

- PHP version 7.4

-WordPress L-2 support method where we support the current major version and the prior two major versions (e.g. when [6.0](https://wordpress.org/news/2022/05/arturo/) was released this would mean [5.8](https://wordpress.org/news/2021/03/esperanza/) is minimum supported version)

The WordPress minimum can be updated with each subsequent [major version release](https://wordpress.org/about/history/), noting that depending on the release velocity of the prior year that the minimum may not change or may increase by more than one version.

The WordPress minimum should be updated with each subsequent [major version release](https://wordpress.org/about/history/), but may be increased for specific projects where fixing a bug or adding a new feature is specifically more simpler by not supporting as many WordPress versions.

We expect to review the PHP minimum heading into 2023 and bump that to 8.0 (with the coming end-of-life support of 7.4 and increase in [WordPress core support for 8.0+](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/)). PHP supported versions and end-of-life timelines can be viewed on the [PHP Supported Versions page](https://www.php.net/supported-versions).

We expect to review the PHP minimum heading into 2025 and bump that to 8.2 (with 8.1 already in the "security only fixes" support level and increase in [WordPress core support up to 8.3](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/references/php-compatibility-and-wordpress-versions/)). PHP supported versions and end-of-life timelines can be viewed on the [PHP Supported Versions page](https://www.php.net/supported-versions).
