The documentation says that DevKinsta supports all PHP versions that Kinsta does. Kinsta added support for PHP 8.4 almost a year ago. ![CleanShot 2026-01-26 at 11.57.29](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/kinsta/original/2X/4/4935f18f1a81bf9b3f889dad9e749a1dd524e81b.jpeg) However, currently the latest PHP version one can select in DevKinsta is PHP 8.3. Are there any plans to add PHP 8.4 to DevKinsta? Or any workarounds? ---

Hello @psymeons 👋 Nice to hear from you again. It’s been a while. The DevKinsta is still at this point in maintenance & security stage, our developers do have a backlog of things they will be working on in the future, however, at the moment we don’t have an ETA on when this will be available (PHP 8.4). ---

I have this same question for PHP 8.5 If the Kinsta engineers are backlogged is it possible to open DevKinsta to maintainers from this community under Kinsta guidance/merge control? ---

Hello @StephanieFuda 👋 We don’t have any immediate plans to open DevKinsta and we don’t have updates in regards to adding PHP versions yet, unfortunately. We’ll announce it on the forum once the situation changes. 🙏 ---

Hello @Lara 👋 I’m afraid I don’t have an ETA to share at this point. DevKinsta is still being update from security & maintenance perspective only. We do have a backlog of tasks and requests we hope to get back to. Kind regards! ---

I’d also like to see native PHP 8.5 support directly in DevKinsta to enable identical dev/staging/prod environments. While it would be possible to work around this using the FPM Docker container, it would be cumbersome. Is DevKinsta still actively maintained at all? ---

DevKinsta is currently in maintenance & security updates mode. I regrettably have no ETA to offer at this moment. We are taking note of the feedback we are getting and we thank you for your patience. Kind regards!
