PHP update issue

    Hey guys,
    I have a problem very similar to this one: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/php-update-required-warning-does-not-go-away/

    I updated my hosting to PHP 7.4 when I got the “PHP Update Required” warning on the WP dashboard. My website is hosted on HostGator and I got confirmed by them that the site was now running 7.4. But I still get the warning on my dashboard.

    I’ve deleted all caches, my .htaccess file seems to have the right version of php set as default:
    # Set the “ea-php74” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
    <IfModule mime_module>
    AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php74___lsphp .php .php7 .phtml
    </IfModule>

    Now when I check my phpinfo.php via cPanel, it seems to be empty:
    <?php phpinfo(); ?>

    But when my I check my domain name/phpinfo.php online, it does say that the site is running the 7.4.29 version of PHP.

    I’m running out of ideas…
    Anyone knows where the problem might come from?

    Thanks a lot! 🙂
    Julie

    The latest 7.4 version of PHP is 7.4.30. You are using 7.4.29. Contact your hoster to get the newer version.

    By the way, you should rather update to PHP 8.0 by now. The support for 7.4 expires in November this year. Maybe it would make sense if you think about PHP 8.0 and test your project with it.

    Hey,
    I asked HostGator last week about updating to PHP 8.0 but they said that it wasn’t currently available on my server due to limitations in the base operating system.
    Apparently they are/were migrating all of their servers to a new data center, but “my” server hasn’t not been migrated just yet.
