# Outdated version of PHP installed

 * Logged into my dashboard today and noted under Site Health the above message.
   I’m on version 7.0.33
 * As I’ve posted before my knowledge of WordPress and how it all works is low (
   though to be fair I know more today than I did two months ago).
 * I found a BlueHost article – [https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/help/php-version-selection-php-config](https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/help/php-version-selection-php-config)
   
   Now this seems quite straightforward, except that when I try to follow the instruction“
   locate the Software section, then click on the MultiPHP Manager icon”, I don’t
   find a software section…. Can someone help please? Thanks
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Foutdated-version-of-php-installed%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thank you. I wonder why they don’t just do it in the background.
