The HTTP Error 500 is often encountered by WordPress webmasters. The methods to troubleshoot it are fairly simple, but finding the root problem might take some time as there are several underlying possible causes.

👉 Conflicting Cookies and Cache
The easiest method to fix the error is by clearing the cookies and cache on your browser.

👉 Bad Plugins
Plugins can cause the HTTP Error 500. You can troubleshoot this by disabling plugins from the WordPress dashboard or your hosting account’s File Manager.

👉 Themes Installation
To troubleshoot a theme-caused HTTP Error 500, change your website’s theme directly from the WordPress dashboard or phpMyAdmin.

👉 Corrupted .htaccess
If the HTTP 500 Internal Server Error is caused by a corrupted .htaccess file, you can solve it by creating a new one.

👉 Insufficient PHP Limit
You can increase the PHP limit by adding these code lines to the .htaccess file:

php_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_value post_max_size 128M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value memory_limit 256M

👉 Other Unknown Errors
If none of the steps above works to solve the HTTP Error 500, investigate deeper about the root cause of the issue by doing the following:

🟣 Enable Error Display
🟣 Restore Backup Files of the WordPress Website

Great video ! I had a problem that turned out to be PHP version as issue. After following all your steps expect backup restore. I discovered that version 8 of PHP was my issue. Move back to 7.3.4 and that worked. No more 500 server error. I moved back to 8.0 and error came back. Just fyi but great video.

My website is like this, that whenever I open the website, it opens normally sometimes but when I open the admin panel on my laptop and then when I open the website on another device, I get error 500 and have to refresh. It is running... even after switching the device, the same error is seen.

Great video, which helped me to solve 503 and 500 errors👍

Me arrependi de comprar a hospedagem hostinger. Muitos problemas, poucas soluções. Paga um absurdo pra no fim perder muito tempo resolvendo problemas do site. Se estou pagando, o mínimo que eles deveriam fazer é tornar tudo mais fácil e não difícil do jeito que esta sendo pra mim. Não recomendo

[HaifengZhu-pnuq]

Thanks for this, I followed your way, and solved this.

[dnrhossain]

Many Many Thanks! After edit the .htaccess file my problem is solved

[jarodlenold]

Could you add a more stressing music in the background next time ? That would be great.

Nice tutorial though.

[BulmaGoku-ib]

Thank you for the video. My problem is a bit different. I got "HTTP Error 500" on my website, as well as "there has been a critical error on this website", but when we refresh it two times, the page / the article is back. I would like to know if this error related to the builder (I am using Avada builder + WPML) or Wordpress. Do you have any suggestion where should I start or where should I ask for help ?

[mpmsvp]
