There are specific requirements that the theme needs in order to work properly.

Before You Install the Theme

Please ensure you complete all the following steps before installing any WordPress theme:

  • Choose a hosting company that is dedicated to WordPress. Check our recommended hosts.
  • Get your own domain. Hosting providers can help guide you through connecting your domain.
  • Install WordPress on your domain. You can follow this official tutorial, though most WordPress-focused hosts offer one-click installs.

Requirements for WordPress

  • Ensure your hosting meets the minimum WordPress requirements.
  • Install the latest version of WordPress from WordPress.org.

Requirements for WpResidence Theme

To use the WpResidence theme, your hosting must meet the following minimum requirements:

  • WordPress 6.7+
  • PHP 8.0+
  • MySQL 5.6+
  • HTTPS (SSL) support (learn more).

Older PHP versions (especially below 5.5) will cause fatal errors. The theme and its integrated APIs do not support outdated versions. Using the latest PHP version also improves speed and performance. Contact your host to upgrade if needed—this is usually a quick process.

Common Error Example

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /wp-content/themes/wpresidence/libs/3rdparty.php on line 266

This means your server is running PHP older than 5.3. Please ask your host to upgrade to at least PHP 7.0 for best performance.

Minimum PHP Configuration Limits

  • max_execution_time = 600 (in php.ini)
  • set_time_limit(600); (in wp-config.php)
  • max_execution = 600 (in .htaccess)
  • PHP memory limit: memory_limit = 512M
  • Post max size: post_max_size = 64M
  • Upload max filesize: upload_max_filesize = 64MB

Recommended PHP Server Modules

  • php XMLReader
  • CURL (installation guide) – required for Google Login

How to Check Your Hosting PHP Limits

Even if you modify wp-config.php, your host may enforce server-level restrictions that override your changes—especially on shared hosting plans.

The easiest way to check your PHP version is via the WordPress admin:

  • Go to Tools → Site Health
  • Click the Info tab to view details including your PHP version
