We will be upgrading the MySQL version on the Fusion server from MySQL 5.7 to MySQL 8.0. Please see the details of this upgrade below:
Server: Fusion
Date: 21/10/2025
Time: 23:00 BST
Duration: 60 minutes
Your MySQL databases may be unavailable for up to 60 minutes while the upgrade takes place; your websites may show database connection errors during this time.
WordPress and other up-to-date software should be compatible with MySQL 8.0. We will try to maximise compatibility, but if you run older software, you may need to check with the software vendor.
