Thanks for your efforts @edanzer and @imagely! Nothing worse than an issue in someone else’s code breaking yours! Thanks for the quick fixes ??

OK, found it, for fellow 123-reg users:
There is a cpanel page that let’s you change your php version, but it’s limited to 5.2-5.5 and actually doesn’t necessarily reflect what’s going on!
The answer is the reverse of the start of this guide: https://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/answers/how-to-switch-the-php-version-4235/

Edit your .htaccess file and comment out (add a # before) the line
# SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 7

This will now allow the cpanel’s changes to have an affect.

@dr-yuill-kirkwood, how have you managed to change your php version via 123-reg? I can only find an option for switching between 5.2 – 5.5, but Heath Check reports my site as running 7.0.26!

That’s brilliant, thanks for your efforts Mirko!

Thanks for the offer Mirko,
I’ve set you up an account.

Is the filter feasible?

Thanks
