Newer PHP versions are faster and safer, but an old plugin may still need an older one. The selector lets you test calmly.

Switch the version

  1. Open Select PHP Version (or MultiPHP Manager) in cPanel.
  2. Tick your domain, then pick the new version from the drop-down.
  3. Click Apply and reload your website.

Enable extensions

On the Extensions tab tick modules such as mbstring, intl, zip or imagick. Changes are saved automatically.

If something breaks

A white page or an error after switching means a plugin or theme is not compatible. Go back to the previous version, update the plugin, and try again.

Tip: Take a backup before changing the version on a live shop.
