Change PHP version on OneNet Servers hosting
Applies to: Sites on Hank where the domain exposes PHP controls in Plesk.
Change PHP only when you have a reason to do it. The common cases are app compatibility, plugin requirements, or moving off an old version that should no longer stay in use.
Before you start
- Confirm which domain needs the PHP change.
- Check the application or plugin requirements first.
Steps on OneNet Servers
- Log in to Plesk and open the domain under Websites & Domains.
- Open PHP Settings for that domain.
- Select the target PHP version and save the change.
- Retest the public site and the admin area immediately after the switch.
What you should see next
- The domain should reload under the new PHP version.
- If the site is compatible, both the public site and the admin area should load normally.
Common issues
- A PHP version change often exposes plugin or theme issues that were already there but hidden on the older version.
- Do not change PHP on a live production site without a recent backup if the application is old or heavily customised.
