PHP settings control how your site runs and handles requests. The right configuration helps improve performance, stability, and compatibility with themes, plugins, or custom code. With ORIV, you can manage PHP and PHP-FPM settings for each site separately, without touching the server or editing config files. Follow the guide to find these settings and how to update them safely:

​
Step 1: Go to Your Site

With ORIV, you can also manage your site’s PHP settings separately. Just go to your site, navigate to the ‘Site Settings’ option from the sidebar.

You can manage your PHP settings for these sites easily. Next, go to the ‘PHP Configurations’ option and set the ‘PHP Version’ from the dropdown menu according to your preferences. Note: If you change the PHP version for a site, ORIV automatically resets the PHP and PHP-FPM configuration values to their default settings for that PHP version.
