Locate your Cloud account. Either click its name, or select Plan Dashboard from the nearby menu toggle.

You will need to click on the Change PHP Version button.
In the PHP drop-down menu, select your desired PHP version you can also bypass running the PHP compatibility checker if needed.
Click on the Update button.
A PHP compatibility checker will now run to test that the plugins and theme on your site work correctly with the version of PHP that you are updating to.
If the PHP compatibility checker does find an issue then it will show that there was an issue in the portal. If you wish to now process to update to that version of PHP then you will then need to click on the Proceed to change button in the portal.
The updated version of PHP will now show in the portal.
