I run a Wordpress website whose legacy code is incompatible with PHP8 and want to run a local copy for test and updating purposes. (The host service for the running site uses PHP7.4 with which the code is compatible.) Under Ubuntu MATE 22.04 I have apache using PHP7.4, PHP7.4 itself, and mySQL. I am missing phpmyadmin. The current phpadmin version calls in some PHP8 dependencies and gives me a blank screen. Is there a way to get a working phpmyadmin using PHP7.4? Advice or a pointer to it would be appreciated.
Just an idea: to try download and install phpmyadmin directly from phpMyAdmin - Downloads

I think that will work though it's a bit of a palaver building from the available kits. I will try it and hope the instructions work OK using my limited knowledge.
