# Plugin creates 500 server error on admin pages

 * I am working with a site that uses this plugin and I have discovered that it 
   is breaking my admin pages – for example if I try to edit my about page, all 
   my custom fields and text editor etc disappear. Once the plugin is deactivated
   they return.
 * I don’t have this problem on my local server. I believe I’m running php version
   7.3 though there was a rule in my .htaccess file like so:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mime_module>
         AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php56 .php .php5 .phtml
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * I’ve removed this for now but the problem persists.
 * Any idea what the issue might be?
 * Thanks

 * Hello!
 * It looks to me that you’re using a self-managed PHP environment via cPanel. Do
   you have access to MultiPHP? There, you can select the (correct) PHP version 
   for your website, and those .htaccess rules should update.
 * Nevertheless, the issue you’re experiencing is unique to me, so I can’t give 
   you any pointers. To me, it looks like either a PHP misconfiguration, a plugin
   file corruption, or a plugin/theme conflict.
 * You can learn more about the 500 error when inspecting the error logs, or by 
   [enabling debugging in WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/#wp_debug).
 * If you’re able to find errors related to this issue and wish to forward them 
   here, then I can surely help you further 🙂 Cheers!
