I will upgrade PHP and fix drupal compatibility issues


About this gig
Need to move a Drupal site to a supported PHP version without breaking custom modules or hosting configuration? I will check Drupal and PHP compatibility first, test the upgrade on staging, fix the agreed issues, and coordinate a safe production change.
This is Drupal-specific work, not a generic server toggle. Drupal core, contributed modules, custom code, and themes may use APIs or functions that behave differently on a newer PHP release.
I can help with:
Drupal/PHP compatibility auditing
PHP version changes on Acquia, Pantheon, or Platform.sh
PHP-FPM, extensions, and web-server configuration on self-hosted environments
Deprecated-function and in-scope compatibility fixes
Staging tests and production coordination
I have 11 years of Drupal experience across versions 6-11, including contributions to the public OpenMass/Mass.gov ecosystem.
Message me before ordering with your current Drupal version, PHP version, hosting provider, and any custom modules. I will confirm the right package and scope.
Respect third-party rights
Please be aware that it is against Fiverr's policies for sellers to include themes, templates, or any other elements that infringe third-party rights or applicable laws in the delivered work. Read more about in our Guide to Responsible Digital Creation.

FAQ
Why does this need to be Drupal-specific? Is a PHP upgrade not just a PHP upgrade?
Not for Drupal. Core and contributed modules can use deprecated functions or APIs that break silently on a new PHP version. A generic PHP developer may not know what to check for. I do this within Drupal day-to-day.
Why do I need to contact you before ordering?
Pricing depends on your hosting setup and current PHP and Drupal version. A quick message means you order the right package the first time, with no back-and-forth after payment.
I am not sure what PHP version or hosting I am on. Can you still help?
Yes. Send me your site URL or your hosting provider name and I can usually identify it, or walk you through finding it in a couple of minutes.
Does this include fixing code that breaks under the new PHP version?
Basic compatibility fixes like deprecated functions and simple syntax issues are included. Larger custom module rewrites are quoted separately once I assess the scope.
Can this be combined with a Drupal core upgrade?
Yes, and it often should be. PHP and Drupal core upgrades frequently go together. Message me and I will quote both as a bundle, which is usually more efficient than two separate orders.
