PHP Version Selector (change PHP version)

Quick Steps:

  • Click Select PHP Version in cPanel under the Software section.
  • Select the required version of PHP from the drop-down and click Set as current.
  • You may optionally choose to enable or disable selected PHP modules.

Depending on when your website, themes, or plugins were coded/designed, you may need to use an older version of PHP. On our shared & reseller servers, we offer the option to change the PHP version on your hosting account. To do this, you will need to follow the steps below for switching the version. For resellers who wish to do this on resold sub-accounts, you will need to perform the steps below on each account you’d like to change & locate the PHP selector.

Step 1

From inside of cPanel, navigate to Software then click Select PHP Version

Step 2

From there, you will see the drop-down menu to select the version. Choose your version, then click “Set as current”.

You have now changed the PHP version your hosting account will use. If you see any error messages, please open a support ticket for our technicians to investigate.
