Changing the version
- In cPanel, open MultiPHP Manager (or Select PHP Version where your plan shows it).
- Select the domain and choose the PHP version.
- Click Apply.
Use a currently supported PHP version for security and speed. Check your application's requirements first: older plugins or themes may not support the newest version. See PHP version support.
Changing limits
Open MultiPHP INI Editor (or the Options tab of Select PHP Version) to change values such as:
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
memory_limit | Memory each PHP request can use |
upload_max_filesize / post_max_size | Largest file you can upload |
max_execution_time | How long a request may run |
After changing the PHP version, check your website straight away. If something breaks, switch back to the previous version.
