PHP and MySQL version recommendation for WP 6.0.2 on Windows Server

[ad_1]

Today I learned that apparently neither WordPress nor WooCommerce are fully PHP 8.0 compatible:

[https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/wva5eg/comment/iled5vv/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3])

In this case incompatibility seems to be related to the theme used.

I host my WP on my own Windows Server Virtual machine in IIS + PHP configuration (no Apache or any other web server) so I have full control over the environment.

At this time I have PHP 8.1.9 and MySQL 8.0.30 and I experience no issues that I can observe.

I may want to dabble in WooCommerce in the future.

Is it therefore recommended that I downgrade my PHP to 7.4? I am reluctant to do it because 2 months from now security updates will no longer be issued for PHP 7.4.

What about MySQL compatibility? Any issues using MySQL 8.0.30 with WP 6.0.2?
