TopicIT troubleshooting → About 1 min read

The server returns HTTP 500 when accessing the WordPress site.

Probable causes

  • PHP Error
  • Invalid.htaccess rule
  • Plugin or theme
  • Memory limit
  • Permissions or server configuration

Verifications.

  1. Read the PHP/web logs — Look for the exact error rather than working blindly.
  2. Test plugins – Disable the suspicious component temporarily.
  3. Control.htaccess — Resume it temporarily only with the possibility of a reverse.
  4. Check PHP memory — Control the limit in the health of the site.

Solutions…

  • Fix the PHP error
  • Regenerating permalians after correction of.htaccess
  • Update/replace the wrong plugin or theme
