If you are running PHP 8 on a Ubuntu server and get a WordPress Health Check error that ImageMagick is not installed, then you can try these commands to fix your issue.
Just run from the command line
pecl8.0-sp install imagick
sudo bash -c “echo extension=imagick.so > /etc/php8.0-sp/conf.d/imagick.
Then you’ll need to restart php-fpm for PHP 8 for the change to take effect:
sudo service php8.0-fpm-sp restart
After that’s done, you can confirm that it’s installed by running the following command:
php8.0-sp -i | grep imagick
and then add
extension=imagick.so
to a .user.ini or php.ini file, depending on your server, in the home directory of your WordPress install
Please make sure you are running PHP 8 on your app in Serverpilot.io or C-panel, if PHP is set to 7.4 it will still give you the same error.

WordPress Error When Image Magick is not installed
Under Tools -> SiteHealth
PHP modules perform most of the tasks on the server that make your site run. Any changes to these must be made by your server administrator.
The WordPress Hosting Team maintains a list of those modules, both recommended and required, in the team handbook (opens in a new tab).
- Warning The optional module, imagick, is not installed, or has been disabled.
