PHP version detected is wrong

Please provide a link to a page on your site where we can see this. Thanks.

I assume this is from Yoast WordPress SEO, so you may also want to check with them at https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/wordpress-seo

It’s in the wordpress admin. Yes one is the Yoast SEO plugin, the other is Nextgen Gallery. I’ll check with them too, but since it’s two different plugins I thought it might be a WordPress issue. Thanks.

These are the headers returned by your site. You’re using PHP 5.4.45 (Assuming we’re talking about winterstreetdesign.com)

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Sorry I didn’t give you the url https://www.nevadacitychamber.com/

The headers for that site don’t reveal the PHP version. ??

@sterndata

You can’t curl nevadacitychamber.com because it’s using a CDN

@winterstreet
Is this a managed Bluehost server?

It is with Bluehost. They call it “Cloud Business Hosting”. I tried turning off the varnish caching yesterday.

@winterstreet If it’s managed, I’d contact Bluehost and have them dig into it. If you have ssh access to the server, what is the output of: php -v

I’ll contact them thank you. I’ll post back here if learn something that could help others. I probably have ssh access, but I’m not really familiar with using it. thanks.

Well Bluehost support tried, but this was their final answer:

“so here’s some info from what i was expl. 5.2 is the server default, so it’ll show up in scans or checking it in SSH, or anything like that.
5.6 is what their php.ini is set to, and will only work for site files in the directory or child directories of the .htaccess specifying 5.6
maybe go copy/paste the .htaccess rule from the public_html for php56s into those directories and see how it does”

So basically I’ll get error messages from plugins forever.

@winterstreet PHP 5.2 reached end of life over 6 years ago! I think that they gave you an unacceptable answer. They need to update their systems!

Supposedly it’s not really on 5.2 but just looks like it. It was still an unacceptable answer though.
