 * Hey guys,
    I have a problem very similar to this one: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-update-required-warning-does-not-go-away/](https://wordpress.org/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.](https://www.php.net/ChangeLog-7.php)
   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.
