## FAQ

  « Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS… » Help!

Make sure your new host is running PHP 5. Add this line to wp-config.php:

    ```
    var_dump(PHP_VERSION);
    ```

  How can I choose which thumbs to display?

You enter a search string (the thumbs are found using the search engine from deviantArt).
You can read more about [search options](http://help.deviantart.com/577/) there.

  Quick tips:

 * _-in:scraps_ excludes scraps
 * _boost:popular_ gets the most popular thumbs, instead of the newest

  How can I modifify the carousel skin?

You can edit `deviant-thumbs/inc/carousel/carousel.css`.

  Why isn’t the cache working?

Probably because your wp-uploads folder isn’t writable. You will have to chmod it
to 757. If you don’t know how, read [Changing File Permissions](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions).
