Updating PHP version on WordPress sites
I have 2 websites on WordPress that have a very old version of WP
I switched to PHP version 7.3 on the hosting
and the website on WordPress stopped working
I need to somehow upgrade them to PHP version 7.3 (without changing the PHP version on the hosting)
I tried uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from WordPress version 6.27 via FTP - it didn't help

Hello!
Thank you for reaching out. I have reviewed your issue and am well acquainted with it.
You are absolutely right: websites on old versions of WordPress stop working after updating PHP on the hosting to version 7.3. This is a very common situation.
The problem is that the code of old WordPress, especially themes and plugins, is incompatible with the new PHP standards. Therefore, simply replacing the wp-admin and wp-includes folders does not solve the issue, as it is the old plugins or theme that are "conflicting."
I can help you resolve this problem.
…
To ensure everything works correctly on PHP 7.3, a comprehensive and careful update of the websites is required. This includes:
Creating a complete backup of the websites.
Diagnosing to identify incompatible plugins and themes.
Correctly updating the WordPress core to the latest version.
Updating or replacing plugins and themes with compatible versions.
Testing the functionality of all website features.
I am ready to take on this task. If this plan works for you, let me know, and we can discuss the details (access and cost).

Просто оновити ядро WP не допоможе, адже у Вас є плагіни, а вони автоматично не оновлюватимуться під PHP 7.
