    Hello

    I had Background Manager working great locally using `MAMP. When I upload to 123-reg no joy as they have PHP version 5.2.16.

    When I contacted them they said there was no plan to update to 5.3.0

    All I need is a random background image every refresh. I tried some of the other plugins available but they all display differently than the wordpress default one ie they cut off a bit at the top of the image. Wheras your plugin worked perfectly.

    Is there anything I can do or is it game over?

    I am a fledgling in terms of my html, php and CSS coding abilities but can follow simple instruction.

    Cheers

  • Most hosts (like HostGator) are offering PHP 5.3 support on shared servers as an addition with PHP 5.2. In order to utilize PHP 5.3 on your domain, you need to place the following code inside the document roots .htaccess file right before the line saying # END WordPress:

    Action application/x-hg-php53 /cgi-sys/php53
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

    Thanks for your reply. I was hoping there might be another solution rather than changing host. But if that is the only solution I shall consider it. I sure do like the plugin.
    cheers
