PHP downgraded by plugin

    I am running on an old PHP. I reached out to my host and they say they are running the latest, so I may have a plugin that is forcing me on an older version. Does anyone know what might cause this?

    No, a plugin cannot affect the version of PHP as that’s not part of WordPress. Do you have anything related to the PHP version in your .htaccess file?

    Thx for Reply Steven

    My htaccess, I don’t see anything affecting PHP:

    <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
    <IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
        # Netscape 4.x has some problems...
        BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html

        # Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
        BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip

        # MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
        # BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

        # NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
        # the above regex won't work. You can use the following
        # workaround to get the desired effect:
        BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

        # Don't compress images
        SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        # Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
        Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>

    Can a theme downgrade?

    WordPress does not set its own PHP version, so it’s something in your hosting stack.

    What is the hosting stack?

    Something in the configuration of your web server or your .htaccess file. The file you posted is not a standard WP .htaccess file.

    Hello Steven,
    WP was automatically upgraded to the latest version 5.0 and the website crashed showing a 500 error.
    Revising the .htaccess folder I found exactly the same as hebhansen,

    <IfModule mod_deflate.c>
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
    <IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
    # Netscape 4.x has some problems…
    BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html

    # Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
    BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip

    # MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
    # BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

    # NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
    # the above regex won’t work. You can use the following
    # workaround to get the desired effect:
    BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

    # Don’t compress images
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    # Make sure proxies don’t deliver the wrong content
    Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
    </IfModule>
    </IfModule>

    I can only fix problems through cPanel.
    Thank you for your help in anticipation.

    I strongly suggest contacting your host about this.
