Problem with switching to another version of php

Can you paste in the full version of your .htaccess file thanks. I will test it on my end to see if Pareto Security is the cause.

There are a number of plugins that alter an htaccess file. So could you also list all the other plugins you use.

Hi!
Here is my htaccess file:

______________________________________________

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

WP Super Cache

I am particularly after the code your web host adds into the htaccess file so I can see if it is in conflict with anything Pareto Security does.

Also from a glance, Pareto Security, redirection and WP Super Cache will make alterations to your htaccess file.

What do you advise? Should I turn off these plugins one by one and look at which plug-in problem?

You can do it that way. It would help if you can paste in the code that your webserver adds. My guess is that it will be something like

# Use PHP 5.5 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php55 .php

If so then Pareto Security will not remove this.

Hi! At the beginning I deactivated the Redirection plugin, but it did not help. Then I deactivated your plugin. For more than 3 hours, the installed version of php 7.2 does not change to 5.6 by default. Below is htaccess file without your plugin:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

# php — BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php72” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
<IfModule mime_module>
AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php72___lsphp .php .php7 .phtml
</IfModule>
# php — END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

That will most likely be an error in Pareto Security then. I will look into this and push out a fix shortly.

Pareto Security 2.2.2 just released fixing this issue. Let me know how that goes.

Hi! Thanks, now activated your plugin again, so far is ok.

Great stuff
