Lightsail Wordress Bitnami - How Can I Downgrade from PHP 8.2.12 to PHP 8.0?

Question

There are some basic instruction on internet but want to make sure if I can really downgrade with couple codes easily.

Answer

Hi

Unfortunately that is not possible. The issue with downgrading or upgrading PHP on a Bitnami stack is that it’s not possible. Bitnami recommends launching a new server instance with the required PHP, MySQL, or Apache version and migrating the data over.

Bitnami doesn't provide a simple code or switch for downgrading PHP on Lightsail instances.

**Bitnami Official Github Link : **https://github.com/bitnami/vms/issues/892

**Recommended Options For Upgrade and Downgrade:**

1. Create a New Instance Lighsail: The safest and most reliable method is to:
* Launch a new Lightsail instance with the desired PHP 8.0 version.
* Install Bitnami WordPress on this new instance.
* Migrate your existing WordPress site to this new environment.

These are steps mentioned by [official Bitnami](https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/how-to/migrate-php-app/) (related to upgrade) However you can follow instructions to proceed with Downgrade.
