    Hi, I am very new (and green) to this so please bear with me and be kind!

    In the built in Site Health it shows a message that there is a Critical Issue – outdated version PHP (5.6.40) and the recommended version is 7.3. However, when clicking on the link it takes me to this page Good news – CloudLinux already took care about the PHP version of your website. which says that everything is fine.

    I have recently re-installed an old back-up as Fusion Builder had a major error (I had tried to update both Builder and Core together, and then run all the updates including WordPress 5.4.1.

    I have also noticed when making changes to my pages, I can save/update these but don’t have the option to ‘publish’. Not sure if this is a different issue or if it is all linked.

    Can this be fixed, if so how? I am very new to this and therefore a ‘dummies’ guide would be perfect. Thank you!

  • You can check your actual PHP version using phpinfo()

    https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php

    Just add this to a file on your server and view the page – make sure to delete afterwards so nobody can access it and see your server setup.

    To change your PHP version if using using Cloudlinux, in CPanel, there should be an option: PHP Selector OR – contact your hosting provider and ask them to help or do it for you.

    Thank you @whitsey my host provider helped point me in the right direction through cPanel, and the MultiPHP Manager made it so easy.
