如何在WordPress上逐步升级PHP
升级WordPress服务器上的PHP是一项常见任务。某些关键插件(例如RankMath SEO)可能无法在当前Debian PHP版本上运行。
在这个分步教程中,我们将在运行Apache和PHP作为Apache模块(最常见的配置)的Debian Buster WordPress服务器上,将PHP 7.3升级到PHP 7.4。
请以root身份或使用sudo运行以下命令。

步骤1 - 备份你的网站
使用mysqldump备份数据库,使用tar备份文档根目录。将这些文件放在安全的地方(通常使用scp)。
作为替代方案,你可以使用WP Migrate Lite导出数据库。
步骤2 - 添加SURY仓库
SURY仓库提供许多PHP版本。
你可以使用Debian的官方指南将其添加到系统中:
