If you are
running a website then by now you must have realized that internal server
errors are very common. An internal server error is an application-side issue. The
message displayed at the time of occurrence of these errors does not provide
any information about the root cause of the problem. These internal server
errors are rarely actual server errors. Usually these errors are caused by some
operation that went wrong on the website’s end. In some cases, the WordPress
admin remains working but in some cases, it completely stops. Wordpress 500
Internal Server Error is one of such errors.
What is this error?
This error
occurs on the server of the website when it is unable to display the page which
is being requested. You request the server to display a page by either writing
some specific URL into the address bar or clicking a link. This error occurs
when for some reason, the server cannot show you that specific page.
What causes this internal server
error?
You can save
a lot of time and effort if you troubleshoot the error first. Initial analysis
of the problem is very important to identify the root cause. It makes the
process of resolving the problem much easier. There are many reasons that can
cause the server to display internal
server error WordPress message. Some of them are:
·
Corrupted
.htaccess file
·
Exhausted
PHP memory limit
·
Conflicting
Plugin
How to Fix?
There will
be different solutions for this problem depending on the original cause of the
problem.
·
Renaming the .htaccess File: The .htaccess file is one of the key
files in WordPress or any other PHP based application. This file contains all
the configuration rules related to the server. If you are facing a 500 internal
server error then there are chances that the .htaccess file is affected by a
module. Or sometimes, the reason could be a broken installation of a theme. You
can check for the corrupted .htaccess file by renaming your main .htaccess file
by logging in to your site using FTP or File Manager.
After renaming the .htaccess file, visit your website to see if it is
working fine. If yes, then either change the existing .htaccess file or create
a new one.
·
Increasing PHP Memory Limit in
WordPress: When a
user makes a request it is handled by PHP. At this point a process is triggered
which ultimately renders the HTML at your end. In order to run this process,
the server allocates some PHP memory. This error occurs when this allocated
memory limit gets exhausted. If the problem is being caused by the exhausted
PHP Memory Limit then increase the PHP memory limit in WordPress and check
whether your website works fine or not.
·
Disabling the Plugins: There are times when the 500 internal
server error wordpress wp-admin is caused by an incompatible plugin. To
check this, you can access your dashboard. From there, you can deactivate all
your plugins. If your website gets back to normal after deactivating all of
them then the issue is with one of your plugins. To find out the problem
causing one, you have to activate them one by one. Once you locate the problematic
plugin, you can delete that and find some alternatives.
