PHP version is displayed on your cPanel’s account home page. An unsupported PHP version is one reason why your website goes down, and displays a blank white page or error 500. This could happen when your website doesn’t support the PHP version active on your hosting account.
In this lesson, you will learn about fixing such PHP compatibility issues on your website hosted at any Sangkrit.net plan such as cPanel Webhosting, Webhosting Plus, VPS, or Dedicated Server.
You may also check the documentation for the software you’re using such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc. to determine PHP compatibility requirements. Look for specific PHP versions or extensions that your software recommends or requires.
To fix PHP version compatibility issues on cPanel hosting, you need to ensure that your website’s PHP version is compatible with the scripts, themes, and plugins you are using. Once you are sure about the version your website requires, you can easily change the PHP version from your cPanel and make it compatible with your website or app.
