You get a 500 Internal Server error, and your website won&#8217;t open &#8211; it&#8217;s like a nightmare! It happened to me personally on one of my old sites; I tried to access my site from my mobile phone while going to the exam and got this error. My first job after the exam was to go to my computer and try to solve the problem \ud83d\ude42 The source of the error message at that time was a new plugin I installed the night before. When I uninstalled that plugin, the problem was fixed; However, there may be other reasons for the error. In this guide, we&#8217;ll discuss how to fix 500 internal server error.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a277bf9e79fa\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a277bf9e79fa\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.temok.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-500-internal-server-error\/#What_is_the_WordPress_500_Internal_Server_Error\" >What is the WordPress 500 Internal Server Error?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.temok.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-500-internal-server-error\/#What_Can_Cause_The_WordPress_500_Internal_Server_Error\" >What Can Cause The WordPress 500 Internal Server Error?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.temok.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-500-internal-server-error\/#How_To_Fix_500_Internal_Server_Error_in_WordPress\" >How To Fix 500 Internal Server Error in WordPress?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.temok.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-500-internal-server-error\/#Check_Your_htaccess_File_Is_Error_Free\" >Check Your .htaccess File Is Error Free<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.temok.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-500-internal-server-error\/#Check_The_PHP_Memory_Limit\" >Check The PHP Memory Limit<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.temok.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-500-internal-server-error\/#Finding_a_Wrong_Working_Theme\" >Finding a Wrong Working Theme<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.temok.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-500-internal-server-error\/#Finding_The_Incorrect_Working_Plugin\" >Finding The Incorrect Working Plugin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.temok.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-500-internal-server-error\/#Has_None_Happened\" >Has None Happened?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_WordPress_500_Internal_Server_Error\"><\/span>What is the WordPress 500 Internal Server Error?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The error message in question does not give factual information about what the error is. That&#8217;s why people who are just starting to use WordPress can return to the fish out of the water when they get this error. WordPress 500 internal server error occurs due to incorrect server settings or a faulty or conflicting file on the server (be it a plugin, theme, or another file). This error is not a WordPress-specific error, and any server can give this error with 500 codes. However, I will explain the error specific to WordPress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7818\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blog.temok.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/error-500.jpg?resize=559%2C336&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"What is the WordPress 500 Internal Server Error\" width=\"559\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.temok.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/error-500.jpg?w=559&amp;ssl=1 559w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.temok.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/error-500.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In another article, I have solved the <a title=\"https:\/\/www.blog.temok.com\/fix-dns-probe-finished-nxdomain\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.temok.com\/fix-dns-probe-finished-nxdomain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN<\/a> error with step by step guide so that anyone can solve their issues ASAP.
