thank you so much for the video my question is I installed Wordpress while I was using 7.14 version but when I switch to 8.0 my website or the Wordpress doesn't load and gives "501 bad gateway ' error so do I need to install another Wordpress for the 8.0 version? or how do I make it work

I've just done this for a client's site and it's still showing the outdated PHP version in the WP dashboard. Does this usually take time to propagate or should this be instant?

I follow this tutorial but I still get the message "PLUGIN need php 7.3 or higher, your are using 7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.12."
