Can’t use SiteOrigin widgets with Beaver Builder in Astra

Hi, I really like the widgets from SiteOrigin. I’ve been trying for 4 hours to get them working on my website but with no result. The php value should be fixed. See below message.

“The PHP config value max_input_vars is only set to 1000. If you are using 3rd party addons this could very likely be the cause of this error. [doc link].”

I’ve set my .htacces file with the recomended setting “php_value max_input_vars 5000”

Without any succes. Did I do something wrong? My .htacces file is like this now:

Please advise.
