Hello,

Will installing PHP 8.0 and 8.1 instantly apply them to all the WordPress sites hosted by my WHM account? Our previous developer warned us that updating the PHP version might break some of the sites due to added plugins. As a result, we have not yet changed our PHP version to 8.0 or 8.1.
I know that currently 8.3 is the latest version of PHP, should I install 8.0 - 8.3 or can I just install 8.3 instantly?

  Hey there!  No, installing any PHP will not automatically deploy it - it will just exist as an option on your server.

  After the PHP version is installed through EasyApache you would need to go to WHM >> MultiPHP Manager to change either the global PHP version or the version a specific domain uses.
