WEBFI-WordPress-How to Fix the 500 Internal Server Error in WordPress
Are you running into a internal server error when trying to visit your WordPress site? The internal server error is one of the more common errors but it does not have any other information than there is an error. We’ve helped hundreds of people resolve the internal server error on their site and will sho you how in this video.
There are a few possible causes and we will go over each but if none of our recommendations are successful you would want to reach out to your hosting provider to see if the error is on the hosting’s end.
First the simplest method to try and resolve the issue would be to resave your permalinks. This will attempt to genreate a new htaccess file for your site to use that should resolve post pased 404s. Should that not work we will walk you through the manual method to remove the .htaccess.
If the problem is not from your htaccess you we will try increasing the PHP memory limit. This will include generating a new file, adding some code to it, and uploading it to your hosting area.
The final method you can attempt for the solution would be to reupload WordPress’ core files with FTP. We only recommend the wp-admin and wp-includes folders so you do not overwrite the content of your site.

Thank you so much, this was VERY Helpful.

My Problem Solved, After Correcting PHP.ini to memory=128MB. Thanks a lot.
Creating a php.ini file and dropping it in the admin folder worked for me. Bless you! You saved my 697 pages.
I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I had a corrupt plugin that prevented me to access, I had a client meeting in couple of hours!! You SAVED THE DAY!!!
The Video was THE BEST help in solving the problem! For weeks I have been stressed by the error, but the calm voice on the video gave me the "Can Do" attitude and the solutions! Thank you!
Thx!
"wp-admin" folder permission is R-E "555", there is no way to change it to RWE "755" or "777", tried several times with different permission combinations, it always defaults back to "555" it seems to be hard set to that permission. therefore putting the file "php.ini" in the "wp-admin" folder is denied.

Problem is, I cannot do a thing with my wp config file, when I look at it, it is completely blank.
Do you have a tutorial on why that might be?
My site works fine, I can access and makes changes. I only get 500 internal servor error whilst trying to update the page builder Elementor.
god bless you that plugin issue was my problem
wow I'm glad I didn't overwrite like you said to and renamed the original folders or my site would be totally down right now
When you changed the htaccess filename, then updated pernalinks … ect. Do you not need to go back and remove the htaccess file name edit you did? Or you just leave it with the new name… i noticed a new htaccess file was created, do i then need to delete the renamed files?
How could I fix my .htaccess file, if when I try to enter to my wp dashboard the message "HTTP ERROR 500" appear?
Hi, Please help me in this issue: I have same issue. MY homepage is working perfect but if someone open other pages , this message will appear. and they cannot see other pages. When i go to admin dashboard and i just save permalinks again, all working perfect for 3-4 hours but i have to save erverytime premlinks to make website UP.
I only get everytime I post an article on social media. What do you think this is?
Thank you so much, renaming the htaccess worked.
My local Primary School is having an Internal Server Error and asked whether I could have a look. In our circumstance we can't access the WP backend either, but you seem to be able to do it here. They seem to be running WP "2011" theme too. I tried the renaming of .htaccess as well as "plugins", and even "themes", folders separately but issues still persisted. I think it's one for the Hosting company…
I really enjoyed your explanations and they fixed my issue. May God bless you with much knowledge.
you are the the best
Lost me in the first few seconds… Open up what?? How?? What??
Do excuse my ignorance but are we trying to achieve from renaming .htacces file apart from gettin a big 404
I faced such kind of issue when I put the code Maximum Execution Time Exceeded in WordPre.ss in htacces form wp beginners website. But when I removed that code it started loading again. I use dream host… I hope this will help someone. I think that I put the code incorrectly.
