I've been using the AddHandler application/x-httpd-php55 statement in the htaccess generator to prevent my php version from reverting to the host's (Siteground) default. Ever since Joomla 3.5 & PHP 7 became available the issue has come back. The PHP version is reverting to 5.x which is their new default. I tried adding an AddHandler statement to include PHP 7 but it isn't working most likely because I've got it wrong. Siteground's 1st tier of support isn't very helpful so I thought it might be faster to ask here what the correct replacement for "AddHandler application/x-httpd-php55 .php .php5 .php4 .php3" would be? Thanks!

Hello Greg,
I can only give you a generic answer, since every hosting has its own format and method. If I remember correctly, under Siteground you can achieve this by following these steps:

- Go to cPanel -> PHP Versions
- Select your PHP version for the public_html directory
- Open the .htaccess in the public_html directory
- Go to the bottom
- There you can see the AddHandler

That found it for me (and identified my error).
The correct line is: AddHandler application/x-httpd-php70 .php .php5 .php4 .php3
I had typed php7 rather than php70
Thanks for jogging my memory Davide!
