How To Upgrade PHP

[robertjbanach]

My PHP says latest version is 5.6, but my app says this is outdated... How do I, or what do I need to do, to upgrade to latest version?

The answer to this question depends on what type of server you are on with GoDaddy - cPanel / VPS/ Managed WordPress

Let me know and I can help point you in the right direction

I'm signed up for Deluxe Web Hosting Linux

Is that what you need?

So Robert you are using a cPanel server - 

1) Go To https://account.godaddy.com/products/

2) Under "Web Hosting" you should see your server - Select "Manage" button

3) In the top right click the blue "cPanel Admin" button

4) In the cPanel admin search box type PHP

5) click the "select PHP Version" option

6) In the drop box select the version and press set as current - I suggest 7.2

Hello 

I got a notice about my PHP from Wordpress as well...

I'm signed up for Deluxe Web Hosting with Linux but it's not on cpanel.

When I go to programming Language as instructed by Godaddy, the highest PHP available is 5.6. On cpanel it's 7.3.

Why is this the case and how can this be fixed?

Regards...

You are on one of the legacy hosting packages  - you will need to purchase the new cPanel and migrate your data
