    Hello there,
    You can try this way-
    Open a terminal window on your Ubuntu Server.
    Issue the command sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin php-mbstring php-gettext -y.
    When prompted, type your sudo password.
    Allow the installation to complete.
    I hope this will help
    Best regards

Thank you @qtwrk for your support.
The last step “apt remove lsphp73” breaks my wordpress site, maybe, somewhere is using the old 7.3.

I need to find what and where is using 7.3

Thanks for all your kindness

    did you do the step that edits the configuration file ? you can also verify by phpinfo , make sure it is in PHP 74 already before you remove php73

Thank you @qtwrk

  1. When I do php --version I get “PHP 7.4.3” and should be 7.4.9 Already reboot the droplet and nothing changed.

About the PHP73 I am afraid to remove it again, so I decided to leave it.

Thanks for all
