Internal Server Error in WordPress appears in your blog page while trying to access any of the blog content or while accessing wp-admin page. Though I had backup in Dropbox, and can access FTP this is a worrying point as I cant access WordPress admin site using wp-admin link. Everything shows as 500 Internal server error. After a quick search over internet, could clearly see a solution that is apt for resolution.<\/p>\n

Cause<\/span>: While updating one of the plugins, this issue has occurred.<\/p>\n

Resolution<\/span>: Link here<\/span><\/a> for reference. Follow any of method 1 or 2, (I have used method 1 for resolution)<\/p>\n

1. Use phpMyAdmin to deactivate all plugins. Login to your site Control Panel, Access WordPress site database using any tool or through Control panel itself. Update the file as mentioned below,<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the table wp_options, under the option_name<\/i> column (field) find the active_plugins<\/i> row<\/li>\n
  2. Change the option_value<\/i> field to: a:0:{}\"active<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Or<\/p>\n

    2. Reset your plugins folder via FTP<\/a> or the file manager provided in your host’s control panel. This method preserves plugin options but requires plugins be manually reactivated.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, navigate to the wp-contents folder (directory)<\/li>\n
    2. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename the folder “plugins” to “plugins.hold”<\/li>\n
    3. Login to your WordPress administration plugins page (\/wp-admin\/plugins.php) – this will disable any plugin that is “missing”.<\/li>\n
    4. Via FTP or your host’s file manager, rename “plugins.hold” back to “plugins”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
