  • WordPress error: Unable to determine if Ghostscript is installed

    Description

    WordPress Site Health showing “Ghostscript version: Unable to determine if Ghostscript is installed”

    Solutions

    1. From my research, Ghostscript require the PHP function exec(). To fix this problem,
      1. Edit your php.ini file,
      2. Find the disable_functions directive,
      3. Remove the exec function from the list,
      4. Save the edited php.ini configuration.
    2. Alternatively, if you have Imagick installed, it can be configured to support Ghostscript.
