Weird but working now. I went back in the ini file for 5.6 and changed it to another #, saved it, restarted service, went into wordpress and it didn't register. Went back to ini in 5.6, changed it again, saved, and restarted services and this time it did register. WHATEVER!
@black3dynamite said in Wordpress/php issue:
Instead of uninstalling php5, just disable it.
# Disable php5 enable php7
a2dismod php5
a2enmod php7
systemctl restart apache2.service
Well, that sure makes things easier 🙂
