Causes for Internal Server Error in WordPress
The following causes are responsible for internal server error-
- Corrupted .htaccess File
- Low PHP Memory Limit
- Theme or Plugin Functions
So, I recommend following the steps one by one.
Step-1: Checking .htaccess File: Renaming the file name and visit your site and check the issue is gone or not.
Step-2: Increasing PHP Memory Limit: Just before the line that says ‘That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.’
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
Step-3: Deactivate All Plugins: Simply rename the plugins folder something like plugins_old.
Step-4: Re-uploading WordPress Core Files: Re-upload two folders ( wp-admin & wp-includes ) downloading from wordpress.org
