How to Change PHP Version in Plesk

Overview:

Plesk allows you to easily change the PHP version for each domain or subdomain. This is helpful if your application requires a specific PHP version for compatibility or performance reasons.

Steps to Change the PHP Version in Plesk:

1- Access Your Domain Settings

Log in to your Plesk Panel using your username and password.

From the left sidebar, go to “Websites & Domains” and select the domain you want to change the PHP version for.

2- Select the PHP Version

After opening the PHP Settings page, you’ll see a section labeled “PHP support (PHP version)” at the top.

• From the dropdown menu, select the PHP version you want to use (for example: 8.3.26, 8.2, or 7.4).

3-Apply and Save the Changes

After selecting your preferred PHP version, scroll down to the bottom of the page.

You’ll see three buttons: OK, Apply, and Cancel.

• Click Apply to save the changes without leaving the page, or
• Click OK to save and close the settings window.

Tip:

If you manage multiple domains, you can assign different PHP versions for each one depending on your website’s needs.

 That’s it!

You’ve successfully changed the PHP version for your domain in Plesk.
