This is not a WordPress issue; please contact your host (and upgrade to at LEAST 5.6, if not 7.0).

Why wouldn’t it be? And I don’t believe upgrading to 5.6 would make the WordPress install see the upgrade.
The install is on a shared space under nazrymustakim.com. You can see that is 5.4 by going to nazrymustakim.com/test.php. I also installed phpinfo plugin under wacoheat.org WordPress install which is under nazrymustakim.com/wacoheat, but it is showing 5.2 when it is originally installed under.
So WordPress is not recognizing the PHP upgrade. Clearly it is WordPress related. I am trying to make the WordPress see the 5.4. But I can upgrade PHP to 5.6, but I don’t see how that would make the WordPress install see the upgraded PHP version.
Wordpress works with whatever version of WP the server presents. Check you .htaccess file to see if specifies a particular handler for PHP.
I recommended 5.6 because 5.6 is the absolute minimum you should be using on a modern system, and 7.0 is better.

That’s it. That was the information I needed. I modified the .htaccess on the WordPress root folder and vóila! And went ahead and upgraded to 5.6.
Thank you Steve.
