 * I try to activate the plugin but it gives [an error message](http://i.imgur.com/zP8IEJO.png)
   saying my PHP version is 5.2.17.
 * But my PHP version is clearly 5.3.27: [see the phpinfo file.](http://stats.marmot.arvixe.com/phpinfo.php)
   I tried adding the code
 * `AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php`
 * to the .htaccess file, but didn’t work. What should I do?

 * What’s the PHP version of your WordPress website?
 * PHP versions can change on a per directory basis.
 * See the FAQ for further tips.

 * Thank you. I checked and my individual site WAS on 5.2.17.
 * How I fixed it:
    Found line in .htaccess: `AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52.
   php .php5 .php4 .php3` Then I changed the `x-httpd-php52` to `x-httpd-php53`
 * That solved the problem; you may want to add it to your info page because I assume
   it is the same for most Arvixe users.
