Please clarify the resolution ... what do you mean by changing the PHP settings to "the other one"
Do you mean at the top where it says ...run PHP as ....?
I am shown three options, which would be the option that would allow me to update plugins without getting the above errors?
Hi @Marnette, it means changing the PHP version and not the "serve as" box. It is located right to the left as "PHP support (PHP version"
