I have updated the php to v7.3 on debain but my wordpress still complains

I have updated the php to v7.3 on debain but my wordpress still complains about not having an outdated version. I followed this link https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-php-7-3-on-debian-9-debian-8/
when I run php -v, this is the output I getroot@li2113-68:~# php -v
PHP 7.3.25-1+0~20201130.73+debian10~1.gbp042074 (cli) (built: Nov 30 2020 20:40:10) ( NTS )

Your response assumes that the OP is using libapache2-mod-php.xx.yy…which may not be the case. If the OP is using php-fpm(8), the diagnosis and solution are not quite so straightforward.
