 * I’m trying to update my content and can’t get into my original site. I keep getting
   this message. How do I correct this? Composer detected issues in your platform:
   Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version “>= 7.2.5”. You are running 
   7.0.33
 * I also accidentally created another site/account with the same name. How do I
   delete this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgetting-an-error-message-9%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Never mind, I got it. I feel a little ridiculous because it’s right there.
 * Hi [@lifehappenswithalicia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lifehappenswithalicia/).
   are you using Bluehost?
 * if you are, log in to your Blue host account> Advanced> scroll down to Software
   section> multi PHP manager
 * Then you will see a dropdown to show your PHP version options.
    Select the one
   you want (in this case 7.2)> check the box for your site below it >click apply

 * Hey [@lifehappenswithalicia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lifehappenswithalicia/),
   
   The issue in your case is the version of PHP. Your website dependencies need 
   at least a “7.2.5” version of PHP to work properly. The latest version of PHP
   is 7.4.12.
 * You just need to update the PHP version to solve the issue.
 * Check out the below article for details regarding updating the version of PHP:
