    Hello

    My customer have WordPress installed in the root folder and in the root folder there is also a third part “core app” installed.
    Unfortunately the “core app” actually only work in PHP 5.4 that makes the WordPress very slow…

    Is there a way to update the PHP version to 7.2 only for WordPress and live the rest to 5.4 ?

    Thanks and best regards
    David

    Suggest that you talk to the tech support of your client’s hosting company.

    I already do that and they are NOT WP specialised. They only propose me to use the option in they cpannel to change PHP Version of folders.

    You only have two choices here:

    1) move WordPress into its own folder/directory and use cPanel to change PHP version

    2) Migrate the site to a VPS, and hire someone to create custom builds of Apache and PHP 5.4 / 7.2

    I suggest that you convince your client to have WordPress in its own folder/directory.
