I need to know how to change the PHP version of just one site at a time. You do not show how to change one site at a time. Help would be appreciated.

Hello Karla,

In order to set different versions of PHP per website, you will need to make changes to the .htaccess file for each site. You're basically using an "add handler" and then specifying the PHP version. You can see this explained in this post.
