    Hey,

    You should check with your web hosting provider about this option.
    Normally, you can change the PHP version from the control panel that the hosting provides, but you should contact them.
    The next version after 7.4 should be 8.0 and this involves many changes in WordPress, so make sure that all plugins and theme you use are available for use with PHP 8.0, otherwise the web will go into critical error.

    Hope it helps,
    Have a good day 🙂

    Hi.

    Thanks for your advice.

    I’m aware that it is on cPanel;
    Software -> MultiPHP Manager -> Set PHP Version per Domain

    The hosting company just notified me on email that;

    ....
to announce that we will be upgrading our servers to PHP 7.4. In addition to
improved data processing, which can boost site speed and
performance, you also gain increased security.
...
At some point during the upgrade window, April 12 to April
15, 2022 your account will be updated, and older versions
of PHP will no longer be supported. You may experience a
brief disruption in service, but we will work to upgrade your
site quickly with the most updated version of PHP software
your website will support.

    Do I need to take any action?

    Besides my cloned websites on local server are running PHP version 7.4.3. But the live sites on the server of the hosting company are running PHP version 7.4.28. Can I change the PHP version of my cloned sites?

    Thanks

    Regards`
