How to change your PHP version
Websites such as WordPress run on PHP. Newer versions are faster and safer, but older plugins can need an older version. Changing it is quick and can be reversed.
- In cPanel click MultiPHP Manager (or Select PHP Version).
- Tick your domain.
- Choose the PHP version from the drop-down list and click Apply.
- Open your website and check that it works.
Tip
If your website shows an error after a change, switch back to the previous version. Use the newest version your website supports; very old PHP versions no longer receive security fixes.
