Question by www.spotcream.com: wordpress – plugins wouldnt work on php4 so turned php5 plugins still think it php4?
i turned on php5 via cpanel but the plugins im using still think it is php4 ive tried removing and deleting them and aslo reinstalling them.
How do i tell wp or the plugins its now php5
Thank you very much, i have fixed the problem the problem was there was no php.ini file.
Im not sure how you checked out who my hosting company is as its blackhostess.com.
Suffusion works with php5 nicely.
As for cache plugin yes i do have one thats why i need php5 to make it work so i knew it wasnt a cache issue lol.
Again thank you very much for helping was begining to think no one could lol.

Checked your website if it is spotcream.com. I see that you have Glowhost as your web host – has PHP5 available. You have WordPress 2.9.2 installed – Currently WordPress works on both PHP 4 and PHP 5 based platforms so that is not the cause of the PHP5 problem. Your using the Suffusion WordPress Theme – Older Themes and Plugins may have PHP code that will not work with PHP 5. You should check with the Theme authors for any PHP5 issues with your Theme and see if they have updated Theme versions. I didn’t check this out so you should double check to see if their are any issues with the older versions of the Suffusion WordPress Theme.
You most likely already did this – Did you create a phpinfo.php file to double check that you really have PHP5 running on your web host server?
For anyone who may want to know how to do this:
Create a text file called phpinfo.php with the following code below and upload it to the root of your server and run it by typing in your URL with /phpinfo.php at the end of the URL Example: www.yourwebsite.com/phpinfo.php
Are the Wordpess Plugins you are using main stream widgets or are they custom WordPress widgets? I assume your widgets are supposed to work with PHP5 by the way you phrased your question.
This could possibly solve the PHP5 problem so it is worth a try.
You should already have an .htaccess file for your WordPress website. If you don’t then automatically generate one for your WordPress website by going to your Settings panel in your WordPress Dashboard, then click on Permalinks and then click the Save Changes button. This should create an .htaccess file for your WordPress website and add it to the root of your domain.
Now download the .htaccess file via FTP and add this command to the very top of the new .htaccess file.
SetEnv PHP_VER 5
*** you may need to add a handler to your .htaccess fil as well – this just depends on your host so you will need to check with them or their FAQ/Help files.
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
or maybe
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
Also there could be other problems with your .htaccess file if you already had one that could be causing this problem.
The other thing I thought of – this is an obscure outside possibility, but worth checking – if you have a WordPress caching plugin installed you need to delete the cache and disable the plugin and then re-enable it.
Hope one these things works for you. Good luck!

Answer by Ben
Your Internet connection from your ISP has not ever been 54.0Mbps. You are currently connected to an 802.11g Wi-Fi network, which has a maximum speed of 54Mbps. That is the connection from your computer to your router. It has absolutely nothing to do with the speed from your router to the rest of the Internet. There’s apparently more noise in your area right now (could be random, could be some stuff in the way) so the Wi-Fi card had to slow down a bit to make sure the router understands what it’s sending.
