Need PHP 7.2+, Wordpress no longer works

[astinson]

Have been waiting for a long time now for TerraMaster to include PHP 7.2 or higher into the web backend (I've seen it in many forum posts). I now have my Wordpress site broken and have no way of fixing it because there is no way of getting PHP updated, even though I have installed PHP 7.4. I have 2 NAS, a F4-210 running the latest firmware 4.2.40 (one of them running my web software sites).

Is there any timeline, way I can get updated PHP running so I can get my sites back online???

Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.2.0". You are running 7.1.13. in /mnt/md0/application/web-ext/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/adult-mass-videos-embedder/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24

Sorry, we cannot make guesses about your specific Wordpress configuration.
Regarding the PHP version, the default version used by the F4-210 TOS4 system is currently 7.2.
It’s possible that your TOS4 is an older version, or that PHP was inherited from an earlier TOS4 version.
If you are sure that the current PHP version is lower, you can try updating to the latest TOS4 version, or reinstall the latest TOS4. This should update the PHP version.

Code: Select all

aduser@210_TOS4:/$ php --version
PHP 7.2.11 (cli) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group

It sounds like you're facing a frustrating issue with PHP compatibility on your TerraMaster device. Unfortunately, without the ability to update PHP through the official firmware, it can be challenging to resolve this.

Actually the PHP 7.2 upgrade needs proper program synchronization. Whether you install PHP 7.4 via App Center or additional package, Web Server still uses old PHP version (7.0 or 5.6). TerraMaster has not officially updated PHP for internal Web Server.

It looks like your WordPress site is completely down due to the outdated PHP version on your TerraMaster NAS. Upgrading to PHP 7.2+ is essential because modern plugins and WordPress itself no longer support older versions, as you’ve seen with the Composer error. It’s a tricky situation when your hosting environment limits updates, but staying current is key for security and functionality.
