I need PHP 7.4 for my site. But in my local, it’s showing only PHP 8 versions. How can I add version 7.4 to the dropdown?

Hi @Subhashreep PHP 7.3 and 7.4 should still be available in the app. Can you tell me what is your OS/OS version and your Local Version? When you say dropdown is this for a specific site or when you create a Custom site and use that drop down?

Hi. Thank you for the reply. I am using windows and Local version is 9. I want PHP 7.4 version by default added to my local. Now I am seeing only 8.1.29 and 8.1.23

What Windows version are you on?

So when you go to create a new site, select Custom, and choose your PHP version is that where you only see those PHP versions?

webserver - nginx and database - mysql

Okay thank you @Subhashreep In order to refresh here and start with a clean slate could you give the below troubleshooting steps a try? Export any sites that you have on Local and save them to a folder somewhere on your computer: Backup a Local Site - Local Fully uninstall Local from your com…

I have installed local recently. And it’s the latest one

What server/database type are you selecting? Does that make a difference?
