Corner Stone Plugin is causing 500 error

[SantiCazorla]

Hi there,

I have just installed the most recent X theme which installs the cornerstone plugin automatically.

As soon as the plugin is installed the website wp-admin area is not longer available and shows 500 error.

It works fine again as soon as I rename or disable the plugin via FTP.

How can I fix this bug?

Thanks,

Hi Rearolam,

You can login through FTP then edit the wp-config.php file and find the line: define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );. Set it to true then save the file. Log back in the admin area and you should be able to see some more error information when you redo the steps you are having issues with.

If you are getting an error message that suggests: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxxxx bytes exhausted, it means that you need to have the PHP memory limit of your site increased.

To do this, please edit your wp-config.php file and insert these lines:

    define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
    define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '512M' );

You can add it before the line
/*That's all, stop editing! Happy Blogging. */

Here is a details article about the PHP Memory Limit that is in our Knowledge Base:

Troubleshooting - Increasing PHP Memory Limit

In case the issue persists, please try to get in touch with your hosting provider and confirm to them that your PHP memory limit is increased.

If you are still having an issue, please provide us with the admin details of your site in a Secure Note so that we can check this further.

@Jade

define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );
define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘512M’ );

Great. Increasing the Memory helped to solve the problem.

Thanks

Glad to hear it’s sorted, Rearolam.
