Hi all,
Could the wording on the .org requirements page be changed for clarity? http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
Right now the text is:
To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things:
- PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
- MySQL version 5.0 or greater
The requirements have changed as of WordPress 3.2. The minimum requirements for WordPress 3.1 are PHP 4.3 and MySQL 4.1.2.
IMO, I think the following would be clearer:
As of WordPress 3.2, the requirements to run WordPress are:
- PHP version 5.2.4 or greater
- MySQL version 5.0 or greater
For WordPress 3.1 and previous versions, the requirements are:
- PHP 4.3
- MySQL 4.1.2
If you are interested in upgrading to WordPress 3.2 and your host is not up-to-date with PHP and MySQL, please contact them and reference this page.
Any thoughts on this?
Tim
