    in Terminal using wp-cli to update the core it returns the error

    Your server is running PHP version 7.2.34 but WordPress 7.0 requires at least 7.4

    in cPanel and using phpinfo the PHP version is clearly 8.3

    affecting half a dozen of my sites on the same server where the admin sees nothing wrong but is very cooperative if there’s something else to check

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    The PHP version used in the console may be different from the one installed on the web server. Type php -v to view the console version. And type wp cli info to see which version WP CLI is using.

    If it’s different from the one on the web server, you’ll need to change it elsewhere in your server management settings. If necessary, contact your hosting provider’s support team.

    wp cli info PHP version: 7.2.34

    I always forget the convoluted versioning setup with this stuff.

    thank you
