PHP Versions Explained: How to Change PHP in cPanel

PHP is the engine that runs WordPress. Like any engine, it gets faster and more secure with new models. But sometimes, you need an older model for compatibility.

Why Change Versions?

  • Performance: PHP 8.3 is significantly faster than PHP 7.4.
  • Security: Older versions stop receiving security patches.
  • Compatibility: Some old themes break on new PHP versions.

How to Switch

  1. Go to MultiPHP Manager.
  2. Select the checkbox next to your domain.
  3. Choose the version from the dropdown menu (e.g., PHP 8.2).
  4. Click Apply.

Stay fast and secure. We support the latest PHP versions at Champion Stack.
