WordPress- Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress – CPanel

Just did a fresh install of WordPress to a new subdomain through CPanel and am getting the message: "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress."

phpinfo.php is telling me that I’m running PHP version 7.0.33. Updated to WordPress 5.5.3 ( via https://wordpress.org/download/) just to be safe, but I’m still getting this message. All other resources seem to say that it’s a problem with older versions of WordPress or PHP, but both are up to date, so I’m not sure what exactly the problem is stemming from.

    Got this working via these steps: https://www.hostgator.com/help/article/php-configuration-plugin#option2

    I had to do the very last step- edit the .htaccess outside the website root.

    You should be able to add the extensions for the PHP through the cPanel:

    In the PHP Selector, there should be extensions that you can enable or disable.
