Thank you so much, this tutorial has saved me, i installed and activated breeze cache plugin, immediately after installation my site returned an error, I followed the steps and i had to rename the .htacess for the site to be restored. Thanks so much for this tutorial .God Bless You.
After i keyed in the plugins-old, the website showed up. How i going to fix the error? I found all my plugins deactivated in my domain/wp-admin, message showing "xxx has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.
Thanks!...Had a 500 Internal Error screen for my new site...and your step by step diagnostic worked great....ended up being a plugin that was no longer compatible to a recent WP update.
Thank you, this video is really helpful. After I rename the plugin folder as "plugin-old", the website shows some my original html code, it helps me find out the problem is in the plugin. Then I deleted the plugins one by one and refreshed the website, finally I found the plugin that caused the problem.
Sir, helpful video. In this video are very logical. Because In your video, I can solve my website problem, I have to wait for new videos from your channel. A lot of many thanks, sir...
Thank you so much you saved me i had same problem couldn’t able to access my Wordpress admin panel and i knew it was Wp super cache i just deleted that plugin from the hosting c panel directly i I retrieved my website thank god touchwood i saved myself thank you very much i am already your subscriber and most of your videos i trust and follow and your video never let me down
Hahaha I’ve been following you for a while now, I have been working for a hosting company for a few years now. You pretty much solved 80% of the issues in this one video alone. Process of elimination is key and you outline those steps perfectly 😂 I just lol when I see comments your video did not fix this, please fix my issue. “Sir I do not have admin access to your VPS, contact your hosting provider” great stuff man! Other than that it can be compatibility issues with php or WP ver. Also you will have the occasional Udemy guru that messes with his SQL tables and ends up dumping his whole DB w/o backing up before dabbling with his backend lol 😆
Really nice video really informative, but when I had this problem it was an error 404 first then I asked my hosting provider to assist in which they did but it brought me to this now error 500, the hosting provider then told me to update my permalinks but even after that my problem still continued. What do you think is a good solution because I tried the first 3 of your solutions with no luck, I have even thought about deleting all the WordPress files and starting over.
Hi Katre', It's really difficult to know what to try without taking a close look at your site. After trying all of the options in this video I would normally suggest contacting your host, but you did that already and they weren't of much help. Re-installing WordPress may be the way to go, if you've tried everything else. But make sure you create good backups of your site before you delete anything. You may need to do a manual backup since the 500 may be preventing you from accessing your WP admin. Here's a tutorial for creating manual backups if you need it: ruclips.net/video/cfLFO7kiS2Y/видео.html And here's a tutorial for restoring manual backups if you need it: ruclips.net/video/7RazMUnBFnQ/видео.html I hope that helps :) Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks for watching!
I’m not great on the development end of things. You can’t display errors on the site since with a 500 error the site doesn’t load. You might able to find some information in the error log which you can access through your hosting account. There are probably automated testing tools that could help. That’s as much as I know.
@@wplearninglab Thanks for your response! The case I was asking about, refers to those plugins, that use ajax requests, and when they experience 500 status (where there isn't any problem with the page load). So the problem is, to find the 500 status, which can also have an influence on other requests' responses (which results in misfunction of other plugins). I think it'd be right to do separate troubleshooting. Again, many thanks for your time and thank you for your advice. Have a nice day!
Thank you. I tried everything and it seems to be the .htaccess. But when the new .htaccess file is created by Wordpress (settings > permalinks > save), the error is back.
Hi Ryan, You can email bjorn (at) wplearninglab (dot) com I'm not very fast at responding to my email, not enough hours in the day. But message me here after you've sent it and I'll look for it.
hey, thanks for the video. I got one of my websites up using the methods. Big thanks for that. I still can not get to run the second site of mine, tried all 4 methods. HELP please
Thanks for all the suggestions. While none of these worked this time, they have helped me in the past, so I wanted to share with you another possibility, which worked for me in this instance. Call your hosting provider and ask them to check their PHP. The website I was troubleshooting last night had an outdated version of PHP on the hosting side, which was causing the http 500 issue
Sorry for the delay. We just had our third baby and it's been a bit of a gong show around here 👶 Thanks for the additional tip. Many times I've offered "contact your host" a solution when the steps in the video don't work. It may be worth remaking the video to add in that tip.
Sirrrrr you are a saviourrrrr. Big thanksss. I was suffering with alooooooooooooooootttttt of issues. But yeah you helped me alottt. Already watched manyyyy tutorials and documentations but didn't able to resolve this. But you are the saviour. Your tutorial is very helpful even after 6years :0 Thanks again:D
unfortunately non of them worked. I think there is a problem in my php.ini . I remember the error came max_input_vars to 3000 .. but I reverted back to 1000 but it's not fixing it anymore. also I see 2 php.ini file on my site one in home directory and the other on in public html.
Hi Ameer, I'm not a PHP.ini expert, but I think you can have a separate PHP.ini file for every site. If the site does not have one, then it defaults to what is in the PHP.ini file in the home directory. If I were you I would contact my host's support. Maybe they can use some server tools to find the problem.
Wp learning lab your 500 server trick really worked. The plugin-old What I figured out what was causing high cpu and memory was the plugin woozone… I have 19 plugins in total and 3 inactive plugins making it 22 all together. What I noticed from the cpanel was when all plugins were deactivated it was 100 memory green low. And then I activated all plugins back except woocommerce and woozone it jumped from 100 to 200 and me not doing anything else. I love woocommerce and without it I couldn't have a store. Im wanting to create a store online for clothes. I have 70 products. I also love woozone but feel it's making my memory and cpu spike. It seems to only do this when I'm importing products I used to import 10 products at a time but dropped it down 2 at a time. Also on products inside woocommerce if I add more image to a product gallery it also does a server overload. I do have a cron job. In your opinion do I need to upgrade my hosting or is there a way to reduce server overload. I already deleted all necessary plugins my website needs to operate.

Thank you for this tutorial. I deleted the .htaccess file as shown, it didn't fix my problem, but did leave me without this file. Would you please tell me how to create a new one from cPanel? I did save the data from the deleted .htaccess file. I guess, I just go to +FILE, make a file, name it .htaccess and edit it by pasting the data from the deleted file. Right? :) Thank you!
Yep, that's how you do it. Just create a new file and paste in the old contents. You can also have WordPress generate a new one by going to Settings > Permalinks in the WP dashboard and clicking 'Save' at the bottom of the page. Using that method may not have all the contents that you'll copy and paste though. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks for watching!
Hi Waleed, It's easiest to do in the htaccess file. I just put some random characters in the file and that takes down the site. Htaccess is very sensitive. I hope that helps and thanks for watching!

Björn, I tried everything You listed and explained at your video and nothing worked for me, I probably did not configured correctrly. Would there be a way You could fix it for me? And the cost I could pay You by paypal if you agree.
Go this error after updating. Many other video solutions on here were quite tedious. Glad I came across this. Fixed my issue in the first 2 minutes of this video. Sub'd
Hey mate, could changing hosting companies solve this porblem? I have the server 500 error, which seems to be intermittent. I've tried everything you said, and have also contacted my hosting company (bluehost), and they are no help whatsoever. I don't know what to do. During the day in Australia, it loads and functions fine. At night, it starts to play up.
Hi Shiva, it would probably be fixed by switching hosts. You could open an account with a different host and see how the uptime compares. It's unlikely that the issue is your site files, so you could put up any old site in the new hosting account just to test uptime.
Really informative, thanks a lot. I just got problem with the public_html folder, i only get 3 thing there which are well-known, cgi-bin and htaccess i dont know how to add the wordpress plugins to the cpanel file manager
Hi, I'm having the 500 issue, this happened while theme on the site, I think what cause the problem was after installing wp and I got the confirmation email, I accidentally closed the browser, after I reopened it I realized the it started to install again, so I closed it, I installed Astra theme , then elimentor, then the mountain site that's when I got 500 error message, I can log in to the site, thanks for your help.
My site was working fine till I shared the link with my followers and it got some traffic then it showed me the 508 error and then I tried the first step and it worked! But then I shared the link again and it broke again, showing me a 500 error. I’ve fixed it again but I’m afraid it break again when I share the link... why do you think this is happening?
The first method is deactivating plugins and then reactivating them one-by-one. Where you able to determine which plugin caused the problem? Are all your plugins, your theme and WordPress core files up-to-date?
This is a great reference but I tried them all, still have an error. Last time I did was updated the plugins. But I deactivated all plugin from the back-end, and still have an error. Wish me luck.
Thank you so much, I am a new blogger and I have zero background in computer and techy stuff but I followed your video to the T and my error is gone. I really appreciate your work.
Hello when i open my site it opens and when i login through wp admin it works. I use elementor pro plugin and do all edits through pro only. When i edit the header and footer then i have no issue in updating. But when i update a page it shows Server Error(500 error) and its not udpated. But if i click on preview the preview page loads and the change takes effect after that and after i exit the page autosaves and the update is done. Please help i have tried all of the above 4 errors and it hasnt fixed the problem.
Hi! So, I changed the plugin name and the site worked! But when I change the plugin name BACK to the original, I lose access to the WP backend that I need to activate the plugins individually. What am I missing? Thanks, in advance! :)
Hi Laura, in this situation, since your login breaks with the plugins on, I would change the folder names of the plugins one by one to turn them off. After each one, test the login page. Does that make sense?
Hi Becca, After trying all of those things the only option left is to contact your host's support to see if something on the server is causing a problem. Good luck!
The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions. I am install woocommerce plugin then type of error will come plz help me and make one video
Hi Tohfa, It sounds like a plugin conflict. The first thing to do is make sure all your plugins, your theme and your WP core files are up-to-date. Sometimes out-of-date things on your site can cause all sorts of problems. It can even be a plugin that's not related to WooCommerce that's causing the problem. I hope that helps :) Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks for watching!
I have 1 doubt, Can we go to wpconfig. php file and set it to false to true so that we can get path just like critical error steps to taught us. So that if the issue is with plugins we don't need to disable all the plugins because if we disable plugins folder all plugins will deactivate and we have to again manually enable plugins 1 by 1 which is a waste of right? What do u think. Plz reply when u see this msg. I really like ur contents and I recently subscribed ur channel
That sounds like a problem with your host unless you have a non-standard hosting set up. I would contact your host's support staff to help you gain access to your cPanel.
I have no clue if this is a good place to ask, but I have my website on an Apache server that I have let's encrypt on and things were running great until I just switched from spectrum cable internet to greenlight for fiber internet. I've updated the new ip's everywhere I can think of and everything seems to be port forwarded correctly , but I can't figure out why my site is only live over my own network but not the internet. Anyone feel like helping out this newbie? Thanks for considering.
I am not able to add new pages or new posts to my site. I am getting the same Http 500 error as when I try to add a new post or pages.. But my site is working....
All my sites suddenly went 500 error. Im using plesk. Html files are working but not php. Each site has their own php settings. Do you have any idea whats happening to my server?
error 500 goes away by replacing WordPress core files from file manager but it starts showing up again after some time, especially when I try to update the plugin. Please advise what could be the reason.
Hi my friend i have a problem on my website When i open it Tell me that it's not reachable So i always use vpn I try to reset dns ip every thing proxy Unistalling goole chrome But it's not working
Hello. my website has a 500 error, but it's not permanent. it dissapears if i refresh the site 2-3 times.... then i do 3-4 clicks on the site and the error appears again. so...i have to refresh the page all the time to be able to log in in wp-admin or open some pages on my site. do you know what causes it? i've tried everything you say in video
My Problem is that, when i updating wordpress page it not successfully update, it turns out a white blank page. then when i check on console, it says "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)". i hope you can help me. i already done checking htaccess and memory limit, nothing happen.
Hi, I have a problem recently I migrated my wp site to Bluehost shared managed wp hosting package using Duplicator plugin, but now the problem is whenever I update any post or clear wp rocket cache the 500 internal server error appears but after reloading It disappears, I followed all your instructions but no luck Bluehost support saying server is working fine and nothing wrong on their end. i am stuck with this random 500 error and slow wp-admin panel..... 😔
Hi, I tried all four methods and still get the 500 error. I had everything working (had just migrated over to a new host) and was in the process of upgrading to the newest version of Wordpress when everything went to hell. Specifically, I'd just gotten a dialogue box asking me something like whether or not I'd like to share error log data with someone (probably Wordpress?) so they could make use of it for future improvements/bug corrections. I'd clicked "No" when I suddenly got the white screen of death. I checked the mod times in my cpanel file manager and the last thing to be modified was the "upgrade" folder in "wp-content" - which would be consistent with things going to pieces in the middle of a Wordpress upgrade, I think. I'd just upgraded a bunch of plugins one minute earlier, but renaming that folder to "plugins-old" made no difference, and things still seemed to be working when the plugin updates were completed, just prior to kicking off the Wordpress update. Any suggestions?
My problem is that I get the error only when accessing a certain part of my website. I can access my website's frontend and backend like normal without any problems. The problem only occurs when a user on the frontend tries to register for my website. I use the "Membership Pro 2" plugin from WPMUDEV. The registration process works like this: The user inputs their info like normal in the registration form, then they get taken to a page where they can choose which membership they want to join. The user gets the error on this membership selection screen. After the user has picked what membership they want to join on the membership selection screen, the page tries to load for roughly 1 minute and that's when I get the 500 Internal Server Error. It says quote, “Request Timeout. This request takes too long to process, it is timed out by the server. If it should not be timed out, please contact administrator of this web site to increase 'Connection Timeout'.” It's weird though because even after that error displays, I still get the normal email from WordPress saying that I have a new user on the website and when I check the users tab on the WP Dashboard, it shows that new user in the list of users. Also, this problem just started happening like 2 days ago. I was doing some testing before my site goes officially live. EDIT: Also, the user can even login, logout, etc without problems.
Hi, and thanking you for your help. Our frontend was working fine and back end coming up with 500 internal server error. From file manager I changed "Plugins-old" and this allowed access to the back end. While in there I updated the wordpress version and can access the back end after changing back to "plugins", however now the front end just comes up with a loading screen. All the plugins in the back end appear deactivated... any advice please and thank you? :)
I have tried activating the plugins from the back end of the site and it seems you can activate a few and a different plugin will randomly send the page blank each time i've tried to reactivate them?

The plugin-old
What I figured out what was causing high cpu and memory was the plugin woozone…

It's easiest to do in the htaccess file. I just put some random characters in the file and that takes down the site. Htaccess is very sensitive.
I hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Actually I have tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for replying.
If you can suggest some other way to reproduce a 500 error, that would be great.

Hi Vukani, what are you trying to customize?
Thanks a lot boss. I solve my issue by watch this video and I become a follower of you. Thanks a lot again.
sir what if i am making use of core php and getting the 500 internal error:- How cn i go about this
Hey. Thanks for the video. I've tried your solutions and I'm still getting the error. Any other advice?
If you've tried all of those then the only option is the contact your host's support. There may be something on the server that they need to address.
Go this error after updating. Many other video solutions on here were quite tedious. Glad I came across this. Fixed my issue in the first 2 minutes of this video. Sub'd
Awesome! I'm glad you got it resolved so quickly. Thanks for the sub!
Thanks so much. This was very helpful. I was able to eliminate the error which ended up related to a plugin.
You’re welcome Dan, I’m happy I could help! Thanks for watching!
Hey mate, could changing hosting companies solve this porblem? I have the server 500 error, which seems to be intermittent. I've tried everything you said, and have also contacted my hosting company (bluehost), and they are no help whatsoever. I don't know what to do. During the day in Australia, it loads and functions fine. At night, it starts to play up.
Hi Shiva, it would probably be fixed by switching hosts. You could open an account with a different host and see how the uptime compares. It's unlikely that the issue is your site files, so you could put up any old site in the new hosting account just to test uptime.
@@wplearninglab Thankyou. I ended up hiring someone to have a deeper look. Will be moving the site to Cloudways when this problem is solved.
Thanks so much. Saved me from 24 hours of stress
That's what I like to hear! Glad I could help :)
Really informative, thanks a lot. I just got problem with the public_html folder, i only get 3 thing there which are well-known, cgi-bin and htaccess i dont know how to add the wordpress plugins to the cpanel file manager

Hi, I'm having the 500 issue, this happened while theme on the site, I think what cause the problem was after installing wp and I got the confirmation email, I accidentally closed the browser, after I reopened it I realized the it started to install again, so I closed it, I installed Astra theme , then elimentor, then the mountain site that's when I got 500 error message, I can log in to the site, thanks for your help.
My site was working fine till I shared the link with my followers and it got some traffic then it showed me the 508 error and then I tried the first step and it worked! But then I shared the link again and it broke again, showing me a 500 error. I’ve fixed it again but I’m afraid it break again when I share the link... why do you think this is happening?
The first method is deactivating plugins and then reactivating them one-by-one. Where you able to determine which plugin caused the problem? Are all your plugins, your theme and WordPress core files up-to-date?
This is a great reference but I tried them all, still have an error. Last time I did was updated the plugins. But I deactivated all plugin from the back-end, and still have an error. Wish me luck.
You saved my tiny ass. In the name of Lord Jesus, I'm granting you the medal of Honor.
Thanks for Nishant, but it was you who did the work. I just pointed you in the right direction :)
Let me know if you have any further questions :)
Thank you so much, I am a new blogger and I have zero background in computer and techy stuff but I followed your video to the T and my error is gone. I really appreciate your work.

When i edit the header and footer then i have no issue in updating. But when i update a page it shows Server Error(500 error) and its not udpated. But if i click on preview the preview page loads and the change takes effect after that and after i exit the page autosaves and the update is done. Please help i have tried all of the above 4 errors and it hasnt fixed the problem.
Thank you so much. Aprreciated!
You're welcome, thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions :)
Hi! So, I changed the plugin name and the site worked! But when I change the plugin name BACK to the original, I lose access to the WP backend that I need to activate the plugins individually. What am I missing? Thanks, in advance! :)
Hi Laura, in this situation, since your login breaks with the plugins on, I would change the folder names of the plugins one by one to turn them off. After each one, test the login page. Does that make sense?
Yes! Thank you so much for your reply. It makes total sense!
You're welcome Laura, I hope it worked!
Hello! I tried all of the following an am still having trouble. Please help!
Hi Becca,
After trying all of those things the only option left is to contact your host's support to see if something on the server is causing a problem.
Good luck!
Thank you so much , it was able to solve my problem in an instant

I am install woocommerce plugin then type of error will come plz help me and make one video
Hi Tohfa,
It sounds like a plugin conflict. The first thing to do is make sure all your plugins, your theme and your WP core files are up-to-date. Sometimes out-of-date things on your site can cause all sorts of problems. It can even be a plugin that's not related to WooCommerce that's causing the problem.
I hope that helps :) Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks for watching!
Thanks very much. you're a life saver.
You’re welcome Mohamed, thanks for watching!
I have 1 doubt, Can we go to wpconfig. php file and set it to false to true so that we can get path just like critical error steps to taught us. So that if the issue is with plugins we don't need to disable all the plugins because if we disable plugins folder all plugins will deactivate and we have to again manually enable plugins 1 by 1 which is a waste of right? What do u think. Plz reply when u see this msg. I really like ur contents and I recently subscribed ur channel
my problem is that the error is not even allowing me to log into my cpanel, how do I handle this problem?
That sounds like a problem with your host unless you have a non-standard hosting set up. I would contact your host's support staff to help you gain access to your cPanel.
I have no clue if this is a good place to ask, but I have my website on an Apache server that I have let's encrypt on and things were running great until I just switched from spectrum cable internet to greenlight for fiber internet. I've updated the new ip's everywhere I can think of and everything seems to be port forwarded correctly , but I can't figure out why my site is only live over my own network but not the internet. Anyone feel like helping out this newbie? Thanks for considering.
Awesome! You just helped me solve this problem, thank you.
You're welcome Luana, I'm happy I could help!

I tried it all, but nothing worked. Any other ideas?
Hi Colby, the next step is contact your host's support to see if they can find a problem on your account. Let me know if they are helpful
I am not able to add new pages or new posts to my site. I am getting the same Http 500 error as when I try to add a new post or pages.. But my site is working....
Hi Rajkumar,
There is something on your site causing this issue. Most likely a plugin conflict. Have you tried the steps in this tutorial?
I was sooo in panic!!! Thank you sooo much! 🤗

Lol Renaud, hilarious.
What was that son?.
All my sites suddenly went 500 error. Im using plesk. Html files are working but not php. Each site has their own php settings. Do you have any idea whats happening to my server?
error 500 goes away by replacing WordPress core files from file manager but it starts showing up again after some time, especially when I try to update the plugin.
Please advise what could be the reason.
For me the error makes me unable to look at RUclips channels but I could still watch videos.
Thank you so much.My issue was the wp-admin and wp-includes folders were not updated to the latest WordPress version in cPanel
Hi my friend i have a problem on my website

Hello. my website has a 500 error, but it's not permanent. it dissapears if i refresh the site 2-3 times.... then i do 3-4 clicks on the site and the error appears again. so...i have to refresh the page all the time to be able to log in in wp-admin or open some pages on my site. do you know what causes it? i've tried everything you say in video
My Problem is that, when i updating wordpress page it not successfully update, it turns out a white blank page. then when i check on console, it says "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)". i hope you can help me. i already done checking htaccess and memory limit, nothing happen.
This is when you're updated the WordPress core files? Or what are you updating before the page goes blank?
Hi, I have a problem recently I migrated my wp site to Bluehost shared managed wp hosting package using Duplicator plugin, but now the problem is whenever I update any post or clear wp rocket cache the 500 internal server error appears but after reloading It disappears, I followed all your instructions but no luck Bluehost support saying server is working fine and nothing wrong on their end.
i am stuck with this random 500 error and slow wp-admin panel..... 😔
Hi, I tried all four methods and still get the 500 error. I had everything working (had just migrated over to a new host) and was in the process of upgrading to the newest version of Wordpress when everything went to hell. Specifically, I'd just gotten a dialogue box asking me something like whether or not I'd like to share error log data with someone (probably Wordpress?) so they could make use of it for future improvements/bug corrections. I'd clicked "No" when I suddenly got the white screen of death.
I checked the mod times in my cpanel file manager and the last thing to be modified was the "upgrade" folder in "wp-content" - which would be consistent with things going to pieces in the middle of a Wordpress upgrade, I think.
I'd just upgraded a bunch of plugins one minute earlier, but renaming that folder to "plugins-old" made no difference, and things still seemed to be working when the plugin updates were completed, just prior to kicking off the Wordpress update.
Any suggestions?
This is really helpful I really wanna promote your channel
Thanks man! Every little bit helps. I appreciate it!
My problem is that I get the error only when accessing a certain part of my website. I can access my website's frontend and backend like normal without any problems. The problem only occurs when a user on the frontend tries to register for my website.
I use the "Membership Pro 2" plugin from WPMUDEV. The registration process works like this: The user inputs their info like normal in the registration form, then they get taken to a page where they can choose which membership they want to join. The user gets the error on this membership selection screen.
After the user has picked what membership they want to join on the membership selection screen, the page tries to load for roughly 1 minute and that's when I get the 500 Internal Server Error. It says quote, “Request Timeout. This request takes too long to process, it is timed out by the server. If it should not be timed out, please contact administrator of this web site to increase 'Connection Timeout'.”
It's weird though because even after that error displays, I still get the normal email from WordPress saying that I have a new user on the website and when I check the users tab on the WP Dashboard, it shows that new user in the list of users. Also, this problem just started happening like 2 days ago. I was doing some testing before my site goes officially live.
EDIT: Also, the user can even login, logout, etc without problems.
THANK YOU! It was a plugin, lucky me.
You're welcome Anna, I'm happy you resolved your 500 error! Thanks for watching :)
Hi, and thanking you for your help.
Our frontend was working fine and back end coming up with 500 internal server error.
From file manager I changed "Plugins-old" and this allowed access to the back end. While in there I updated the wordpress version and can access the back end after changing back to "plugins", however now the front end just comes up with a loading screen. All the plugins in the back end appear deactivated... any advice please and thank you? :)
I have tried activating the plugins from the back end of the site and it seems you can activate a few and a different plugin will randomly send the page blank each time i've tried to reactivate them?
hey i changed general url links in wordpress and i came up with 500 error how can i fix that.
