System Requirements
This article covers the recommended system requirements for installing and using Beaver Builder on your sites.
WordPress
Beaver Builder is compatible with WordPress 4.6 and above.
Note: WordPress 4.9.6 requires Beaver Builder Version 2.1.1.3 or higher.
We recommend a WP Memory limit of 128 MB or greater (256 MB or higher is preferred).
PHP
We follow WordPress minimum requirements for PHP version. See the wordpress.org requirements page for current recommendations.
- All Beaver Builder products:
- PHP 5.6.20 and above
- PHP 7.4 is currently recommended by WordPress
- PHP 8 is supported for all Beaver Builder products with some warnings, which are fixed in Beaver Builder 2.5, Beaver Builder Theme 1.7.9, and Beaver Themer 1.4.
jQuery
Beaver Builder enqueues the version of jQuery that is bundled with WordPress core and only supports that version. It is quite possible that other versions of jQuery will work, but use them at your own risk.
Browsers
Beaver Builder supports all modern browsers (Chrome, FireFox, Safari and Edge).
Viewing Beaver Builder content
To view content added by Beaver Builder to your pages, posts, or custom post types we support the latest three versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For example, if the latest version is 66, then any release of versions 64-66 is supported.
As of WordPress 5.8, Internet Explorer 11 is no longer supported.
Working with the Beaver Builder editor
We only support the latest browser version when using the Beaver Builder editor.
Mobile Devices
The Beaver Builder editor can be used on tablets and smartphones to edit layouts. Note the functionality is still subject to limitations inherent on smaller screens.
