I am presently in the process of moving my forum from a Bluehost account which only offers php 7.0 to a Bluehost account which offers php 7.1. I have set the php manager to 7.1, yet the myBB forum I've created only shows 7.0 on the Dashboard. I've talked to Bluehost and they say I need to manually insert coding into the myBB software to be able to access 7.1.
Can someone help me with this or tell me if Bluehost is incorrect?
Thank you!
I can't see why you'd have to modify the source code of your website to access PHP 7.1.

Yes, this seems very wierd.
@OP: Did you change the configuration of PHP version in the cpanel ? I remember bluehost has a PHP manager(Most of the CPanel ) offer this feature.

Yes, I have changed the php version in Bluerock, which is the new Bluehost Control Panel. The php Manager also shows that I have 7.1, but the Dashboard of the myBB forum shows 7.0. I tested inserting the myBB Amnesia Plugin which only works with 7.1, and it didn't work so that's consistent with the myBB forum being 7.0.

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php71 .php
otherwise you should contact them for more detailed instructions.
Changing the php version in the .htaccess file worked! Thanks!
AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php71 .php
