Server Requirements for MyHome IDX
MyHome IDX runs on a standard WordPress server. These are the PHP version and settings it expects, and how to get them changed if your current values are lower.
In short
- PHP 8.1 or newer, on any standard WordPress server.
- Memory limit 256M and max_input_vars 10000.
- The demo import is what needs those limits.
- Your provider can raise them for you on request.
What the theme expects
MyHome IDX is a normal WordPress theme, so anything that runs WordPress well runs the theme well. The values below matter most during the demo import, when a full site of pages, images and settings is created in one go. Everyday use is much lighter.
Search and listings do not add load here. They render live from your IDX Broker account, so there is no MLS data stored on your server and nothing syncing in the background.
PHP version and settings
Use PHP 8.1 or newer. Most providers already run a current version by default. It is worth staying one step behind the very newest PHP release until WordPress marks it as fully supported.
| Setting | Recommended value |
|---|---|
| memory_limit | 256M |
| max_input_vars | 10000 |
| max_execution_time | 300 |
| max_input_time | 300 |
| upload_max_filesize | 32M |
| post_max_size | 32M |
To see what you have right now, open Tools then Site Health then Info and expand the server section. WordPress lists the PHP version and every value from the table there.
How to change the values
On most accounts you can set the PHP version and these limits yourself in the control panel, or in a php.ini file. If you would rather not touch it, send your provider the table above and ask them to apply it. It is a routine request and usually takes them minutes.
