How to Change PHP Version in Plesk

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.
