Q&A:
Why is my website not working after updating the PHP version?
A plugin or theme installed on the website may not be compatible with the new PHP version.
If possible, switch back to the previous PHP version and check whether updates are available for the plugins or theme currently in use. After that, you can try updating the PHP version again.
You can try disabling the plugins one by one by renaming the plugin folder. WordPress plugins can be found in the File Manager under the path wp-content/plugins.
