 * Hi all, my admin dashboard says my PHP is out of date, but it isn’t. The dashboard
   thinks I’m running Apache 7.2, when I already updated to 8.0 months ago. The 
   dashboard says this is a Site Health critical issue. Is there a way to fix this?
   Thanks, appreciate it, have a great day.

 * Look under Tools > Site Health to see which PHP version is listed there. If it
   is also 7.2, you should contact the support of your hoster, as their settings
   for this are obviously incorrect.

 * Hi threadi, thank you very much for your reply. The issue is fixed. When I contacted
   my host, they had to update the IP address in the DNS. That took care of it. 
   Cheers.
