Thanks for all

Thank you @qtwrk

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

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
