How to Set the PHP Version per Directory in cPanel

If you want to use different PHP versions for specific directories, cPanel makes this easy using the .htaccess file.

Steps to Set PHP Version per Directory:

• Log in to your cPanel account.

• In the Software section, click on MultiPHP Manager.

• Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Select your domain from the left side.

• Choose the desired PHP version from the drop-down menu and click on Apply.

• Open the /public_html/.htaccess file in the cPanel File Manager. You will find the code generated by cPanel.

• To set PHP 8 in the directory forums, create a .htaccess file in the /forums/ directory and paste the code generated in the previous step.

• Congratulations! Your forums directory is now using PHP 8. To apply the same PHP version to other directories, simply copy the code from the .htaccess file and paste it into the new directory.
