 * Hello all,
 * I am hosting my website via site ground and used their PHP manager to update 
   to PHP 8.2.0. However, WordPress still gives the “You need to upgrade PHP” and
   thinks I am running 7.3.33. When I try to update Woo commerce for Facebook, the
   Version checker file throughs a fatal error because it also thinks I am running
   a version below 7.4. I know that I am running 8.2.0, and I found several other
   threads on here with the same issue, but none have a solution. Any ideas?
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Ion

 * When you are logged into the dashboard, what version does site health show?
 * Have you contacted Siteground support? PHP 7.3.x could be coded into the .htaccess
   file, php.ini, or user.ini file. Any of those files will override the server 
   version.
