Change your PHP version

Switch the PHP version your site runs on from the dashboard.

Different apps need different PHP versions. To switch:

  1. Open Dashboard → Hosting → your website → PHP.
  2. Pick a version and save. Modern WordPress and Laravel run best on PHP 8.1+; some older scripts need 7.4.

If your site breaks right after an upgrade, an old plugin or theme is probably incompatible — switch back to the previous version, update the plugin/theme, then move up again. A blank white page after a version change almost always means a PHP fatal error; lower the version to get back in, then check your error log in Files.
