Please save this code as php file and run it on your server,
paste the output here:
<?php
echo 'PHP_VERSION: ' . PHP_VERSION . '<br />';
echo 'PHP_VERSION_ID:' . PHP_VERSION_ID;
if your open htaccess file with your ftp software do you see line like this:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php
I would recommend contact your hosting provider.
It look like something is wrong with server configuration.
I’m not sure from past experience , they will be very helpful.
I have the option via host control panel to switch to a more recent php version. 5.5
Do you think that might be worth trying?
Contacted Host , they just confirm, it is running 5.4, which I already know.
Switching php version didnt help.
Manually adding
“AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php”
to htacess file didnt help.
Any other suggestions?
@patr100
Can you say where do you host ? what plan ?
Hi
I didnt choose it.
it’s the “Business” Plan from here
https://www.123-reg.co.uk/web-hosting/
All they did first was add
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php
manually to the htacess file.
I already tried that and I told them that!
Typically they dont actually read what I type properly first time and I have to keep repeating stuff.
They have now asked for a screenshot of the error message and admin log in to take a look. I will await their reply.
Ok they replied to say they have now added a new single line htaccess file of
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php
to my public_html root
in addition to the original more detailed htaccess file that was already in the sub folder where my WP site is located.
At first this made no difference ( I did try similar) as they did not realise my site was in a sub-folder, but somehow it now applies as expected and the error is gone from the dashboard and the Elementor plug in appears installed and activated correctly as I have just fired up a test page and it has loaded so hopefully this resolves it.
It may be of use if any one else has the same issue which has been reported in a previous thread here.
Elementor requires PHP version 5.4+, plugin is currently NOT ACTIVE.
