Due to some plugins, I need to downgrade from version 7.3 to 7.0, I tried to do it through htaccess and I was not successful!

Hello,
Usually what I would do in this case is the following:
Add the ondrej PHP repository:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
Run apt update:
- sudo apt-get update
Install the PHP version that you need:
- sudo apt-get install php7.1
Install the required modules:
- sudo apt-get install php7.1-cli php7.1-common php7.1-json php7.1-opcache php7.1-mysql php7.1-mbstring php7.1-mcrypt php7.1-zip php7.1-fpm
Disable PHP 7.3:
- sudo a2dismod php7.3
Enable the older PHP version:
- sudo a2enmod php7.1
- sudo service apache2 restart
Of course this would also depend on your current setup so make sure to take a backup of your Droplet first!
