# Minimum Requirements ### :dvd: What You Need Before you continue with the setup, it's best to check that your hosting account meets the minimum requirements set out by WordPress.org. Currently, the latest version of WordPress is **5.8** (at the time of writing this). * **PHP** - 7.4 * **MySQL** - 5.6 * **MariaDB** - 10.1 or greater For a full list of requirements, please see the official ones set out by [**WordPress**](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/). If you're not sure that your server meets these requirements, get in touch with your hosting provider and they'll let you know whether anything needs changing, or that you're good to go :rocket: ### :computer: Recommended PHP Limits There may be times when you encounter problems such as demo content import failures, timeouts, and other similar issues. These can usually be resolved by increasing the **PHP** limits on your server. Most will be adequate, but should you need to increase any of these values, contact your web host and provide the following information... ```c max_execution_time = 120 memory_limit = 128M post_max_size = 64M upload_max_filesize = 64M max_input_time = 60 max_input_vars = 1000 ``` ### :hourglass\_flowing\_sand: How To Find Out Your Current PHP Limits If you need information on your current **PHP** limits, version and setup, you can go straight to **Tools > Site Health** from your WordPress dashboard, then click on "Info". You can then find these variables under the "Server" tab. ![The "Server" tab under the "Site Health > Info" screen.](/files/-MhOB3wR1TXNBnVIikEd) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
