# PHP Version not selectable in SG Optimization

 * This is occurring in the backend of WordPress so above link not relevant.
 * In the SG Optimization setting the PHP version is shown as “0”. Selection is 
   greyed out with no option to select a php version to migrate. Also notice that
   the php version check functionality is not there.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fphp-version-not-selectable-in-sg-optimization%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Please, delete the plugin and install it anew. Clear your browser cache too. 
   That’s a local browser cache which had stored previous version’s interface resulting
   in that behaviour. You won’t have to do this again since in upcoming versions
   we have mechanism to properly clear it.

 * Thanks for the reply. Deleted the plugin, cleared cache, and reloaded plugin.
   Still same status.
 * Also deactivated all plugins except SG Optimizer but still same issue.
 * Could this be generated from a setting in siteground account?

 * I’ve taken the liberty to login to your account and I can see all the available
   PHP versions listed properly. Trust me when I tell you it’s a browser cache. 
   Could you try another one, please?
 * By the way, you have different PHP versions for different folders in your account
   which is not a good thing to do. Your main folder is under PHP 7.0 but WordPress
   system folders like wp-content and wp-admin are under 5.6. This means that you
   have .htaccess files in those folders specifying different versions.
 * Please, login to your site with FTP or the cPanel -> File Manager tool and edit
   those .htaccess files removing the lines that overwrite the main PHP version 
   so you end up with a single PHP version per site. If you want, you can open a
   ticket ID requesting this and give me that ID here so I can handle it for you
   🙂

 * Will do on the php versions. I played with those trying to see if that was the
   cause of another plugin issue that turned out to be a bad update.
