Changing the PHP version affects all websites within the same hosting account. Make sure the selected version is compatible with all your websites.
-
Before changing the PHP version, verify that your CMS, plugins, and themes support the selected version.

We recommend using up-to-date PHP versions that receive security updates.

If your website stops working correctly after the change, try switching back to the previous PHP version.
