bndiagnostic was not useful. Could you please tell us why?

don't understand it

Describe your issue as much as you can

I followed the backup guide here and created a backup of my php7.x Bitnami lamp stack applications. Then I created a new php8.x instance and restored the backup (also backed up and restored the mariadb the same way).
Now when id php -v I get version PHP 7.4.30 (cli) (built: Sep 10 2022 03:30:25) ( NTS ) instead of the LAMP 8.2.16-0

Hi @chiemekailo,

The guide you followed copies the entire installation directory (PHP binaries included) and moves it to the new instance. In this case, you are replacing all files in the new instance so you basically end up having the exact same installation.

You need to follow this other guide to only migrate the WordPress data from the old instance to the new one
