I need to install wordpress for my site and tried to use the built-in wordpress, but it said the following:
\"This is a modified cPanel module. Please contact the maintainer for support. (v0.5)

Website WordPress › Blog Tool and Publishing Platform

Requires MySQL 5 or newer.

Sorry modified cPanel addons are not allowed, contact your server admin for more info.\"

But mysql 5 is installed.

Assuming you have WHM access as root,
1. Log in to WHM
2. Scroll down on the left to the Cpanel section/install Cpanel addons
3. Tick the box on the lower right that says "Force refresh of all cpAddon sources"
4. Click the Update Addon Config button.

I have had to do this dozens of times, if anyone knows how to make this happen automatically I would appreciate a tip.

To prevent this from happening:
  1. Log into WHM
  2. Click on "Tweak Settings"
  3. Locate "Allow cPAddons installations from modified sources" under the "cPAddons" section.
    *** In older versions of cPanel, you'll have to untick Prevent cPAddons installations of modified sources"​
  4. Change it to "On".
  5. Click Save.

After you're done, you shouldn't get that error any more.
