- Log into your cPanel account.
- In the "Software" section, click on the "MultiPHP Manager" Icon.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page, select your domain from the left side of the screen and you will see an option "PHP Version" with a drop-down menu on the right side.
- Select the appropriate PHP version from it and click the "Apply" button.
If will take a few seconds and then your PHP version will change to your selected version.
