 * I don’t completely understand your questions. What error are you seeing?
 * I see that php handler htaccess code is being added to the bottom of your Root
   htaccess file by your web host.
 *     ```
       # php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
       # Set the “ea-php81” package as the default “PHP” programming language.
       <IfModule mime_module>
         AddHandler application/x-httpd-ea-php81 .php .php8 .phtml
       </IfModule>
       # php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

 * My site goes down every 4-7 days it varies sometimes 3 days sometimes 7 days.
   Then is the 403 or 404 error. I know what the problem is because it happens always
   So then I rename the .htaccess files the site comes back. Then I run the BPS 
   wizard all is ok for a few days.
 * So it seems something is corrupting the .htaccess file and breaking the site.
 * I don’t know if the host changes are doing it or what it is ? at the moment the
   host has not changed the file and the site is working but it has only been one
   day so far.

 * Ok I am pretty sure that this is what is happening > Your web host is automatically
   adding the php handler htaccess code for PHP 8.1 in your root htaccess file every“…
   4-7 days it varies sometimes 3 days sometimes 7 days”, which causes your site
   to go down. To fix this problem login to your web host control panel > MultiPHP
   Manager tool > change the php version to 8 instead of 8.1. Changing the php server
   version in cPanel should generate new php handler code in your root htaccess 
   file. If your site is working normally then copy the 8.0 php handler code into
   this BPS Custom Code text box: 1. CUSTOM CODE TOP PHP/PHP.INI HANDLER/CACHE CODE,
   click the Save Root Custom Code button and activate Root Folder BulletProof Mode.
   If your site is still having problems then go back to the cPanel MultiPHP Manager
   tool and change the php server version to 7.4. Then copy the 7.4 php handler 
   code into this BPS Custom Code text box: 1. CUSTOM CODE TOP PHP/PHP.INI HANDLER/
   CACHE CODE, click the Save Root Custom Code button and activate Root Folder BulletProof
   Mode.

   still crashed the minute the php handler code was instered in custom code.

 * Most likely 1 of your plugins or your theme is not compatible with php 8.0 and
   higher versions of php. Once you get your website stabilized then I recommend
   cloning it and creating a dev site (copy of your production site). So you can
   deactivate all plugins, switch your theme to a WP default theme and then start
   activating plugins one by one to find the plugin that is not compatible with 
   php 8.0 and higher versions of php.

 * You can change the php version per site. So you will want to change your dev 
   site’s php version to php 8.0 test then bump it up to 8.1 and test.

 * Thanks I changed to 7.4 and now I am not having the issue.

 * Ok so at this point your production site is stabilized. Another approach instead
   of creating a dev copy of your site to figure out which plugin or theme is not
   compatible with php 8.0 or higher versions would be to enable WP debugging in
   your wp-config.php file, switch to php 8.0 and then check your server’s php error
   log for errors. The php error should tell you which plugin or theme is not compatible
   with php 8.0.
