HTTP 500 Error Message in wp-admin

[earlyimpact1]

Hi,

I am having issues trying to get the theme to work. I have been using X theme, but actually changed it by mistake thinking I was on another website I own. When I went back on to X it has never been quite the same.

I cannot get into the wp-admin. It comes up with a HTTP 500 error.

I have contacted Blue Host. They think is theme related, and got me back in to the wp-admin.

I have tried reinstalling x-theme. I also have tried deleting it, but it won’t let me. (in the hope of reinstalling it).

If I try to install any other theme now I just get a HTTP 500 Error.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Hello Martin,

Thanks for writing in! An error 500 is a fatal error. It could be a PHP memory exhaustion or a function does not exists. Could you please enable the debug mode? You can do this by opening wp-config.php and adding

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

When you revisit the page, you should have some error output describing the issue in more detail. ​We recommend that you increase your memory allocated to PHP. To increase it, 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. */

We would loved to know if this has work for you. Thank you.
