  2. At some point in time, you must have encountered a 500 Internal Server Error while trying to access a particular website. As a visitor, you may ignore it, but as a website administrator, you cannot afford to ignore it and get rid of it as soon as possible. Not only the website frontend but also the WordPress administrator dashboard might not be available to access. In this article, we will walk you through some of the reasons why this error occurs, how to avoid it, and why it is important to invest in a reliable web hosting server to avoid this error and improve website uptime.

  3. What is a 500 internal server error? In one of our previous articles about HTTP Status codes, we have covered in detail the type of errors website users might encounter. The 3-digit error status code that starts with ‘5’ and looks like 5XX indicates that there is no problem with the request made by the user agent. But due to some other reasons, the server is not able to process the request due to incorrect configuration of the website or due to some issue encountered within the server. While 500 specifically indicates that the webserver is facing some kind of an Internal issue due to which the request made by the user agent could not be processed at that moment. Sometimes this kind of error is momentary, which lasts for a few minutes and sometimes just a few seconds.

  4. How to Fix 500 Internal Server Error in WordPress? Here are some of the most common issues due to which your WordPress website has an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. Corrupt .htaccess file Exceeding PHP Memory Limit Faulty Plugin or theme Issue Corrupted Core Files Check File Permissions Unsupported PHP Version Incorrect DNS entries Problem with Server itself

  5. Tips to avoid Internal Server Error and Quick Troubleshoot First and foremost, keep all the plugins, themes, and WordPress Core updated. The outdated versions tend to create more problems and are more prone to security threats like malware and hacking. Always take regular backups of your WordPress website files and database. Use a good plugin that takes regular backup and can easily restore the website to the desired version. Turn on ‘Debugging’. It is a small trick that will help you easily debug the website, by giving you vital information about the cause of the issue. It can be enabled by adding the following line of code in your wp-config file: “define( “WP_DEBUG”, true );” ● ● ●

  6. Increase your PHP Memory Limit (as explained above). Use a highly reliable server. Use security plugins to scan and audit your website regularly. Use reliable and trusted plugins and themes only, that provide good support. ● ● ● ●
