Hello,

your web hosting is using a PHP version older than 5.5, which is really old an insecure. WordPress recommends using PHP 7.4.

But we will check if we can fix this easily.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello,

we have avoided the PHP 5.2 compatibility issues. Please reinstall FV Player from this link https://github.com/foliovision/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/archive/master.zip To do that you will have to first deactivate and delete the current FV Player plugin you are using. WordPress will warn you that you might loose settings and data, but it’s not the case with our plugin, no settings now videos will be lost. Or you can just replace the plugin files via FTP.

Then it should be working for you, if you really cannot upgrade your PHP version.

Thanks,
Martin
