 * My dashboard shows that I should update my PHP version but it’s running PHP 7.4.
   Not 7.0 like it says.
 * Where does WP get this info from?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-update-recommended%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * WP is seeing what your hosting config is giving it, 7.0. Please contact your 
   host to ask why 7.4 is not active.

 * Hi Steve,
 * I’m the host (i’m a reseller with over 200 sites) and I’ve contacted my support
   team who also confirmed I am running PHP7.4 on the site.
 * The hosting dashboard shows 7.4 and I’ve checked the htaccess files that also
   show 7.4.
 * /Select PHP version
    You are currently using PHP version: PHP 7.4

 * When I look at the response headers from a visit to your site, I see 7.0. You
   have a system configuration problem, not a WP problem:
 *     ```
       ng: gzip
