What is "PHP CLI is different from the Current PHP" error?
Posted: April 24th, 2025, 7:03 pm
This error means that the version of PHP used by your web server (the one running your WordPress site) is different from the version of PHP used by the command-line interface (CLI) on your server.
JetBackup for WordPress uses the PHP CLI to run background tasks like backup and restore operations. If the CLI PHP version does not match the version running your site, it can lead to compatibility issues or unexpected errors during these operations.
Why it matters:
JetBackup relies on consistency between web and CLI environments to ensure backups and restores run correctly and securely. A mismatch can prevent the cron job from running or cause it to behave differently than expected.
