# Error Activating Plugin

 *  Resolved [skylersb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/skylersb/)

 * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-activating-plugin-11/)
 * I have installed the plugin but every time I try to “Activate” the plugin I get
   redirected to another screen that says,
    “Sorry, you are not allowed to access
   this page.”
 * After this happens, my PHP version is reset to 5.2 and my .htAccess file is fully
   cleared out, preventing any pages on my website to properly work aside from my
   homepage. I then have to adjust my .htAccess page and re-update my PHP version.
   If I don’t re-update my PHP version and click “activate” on the plugin I then
   get the error,
 * “Simple Calendar could not be activated.
    Required PHP version: 5.3.3 – Version
   found: 5.2.17 Please update to meet Simple Calendar requirements.”
 * I have deleted the plugin and re-installed several times to try and see if this
   would help with anything. Still no answers. Please help me resolve this issue
   so I can use this plugin.
 * My Current System Specs:
    Wordpress Version: 4.6.1 PHP Version: 5.6.27 MySQL 
   version: 5.6.32
 * Extensions installed:
    curl iconv json mbstring

 * How are you updating your PHP version, is your host doing it for you?
