In this article we will look at how to troubleshoot an internal server error in your WordPress installation.
Main: Steps to resolve 500 Internal Server Error
Use your FTP app or File Manager to find your .htaccess file. (make sure show all hidden files is enabled)
Rename your .htaccess file to .htaccess.bak.
Login to your WordPress admin area.
From the left menu, click Settings > Permalinks.
Check the permalink settings are as you need.
Click the Save Settings button.
Go to your browser and reload your site to see if the 500 Internal Server error is resolved.
1)Checking for corrupt .htaccess file
The first thing you should do when troubleshooting the internal server error in WordPress is check for a corrupted .htaccess file. You can do so by renaming your main .htaccess file to something like .htaccess_old. To rename your .htaccess file, you will need to login to your site via FTP. Your .htaccess file will be located in the root directory alongside your wp-content, wp-admin, and wp-includes folders.
Once you have renamed the .htaccess file, try loading your site to see if this solved the problem. If it did make sure that you go to Settings > Permalinks and click the save button. This will generate a new .htaccess file for you with proper rewrite rules to ensure that your post pages do not return any 404 errors.
2)Deactivate all plugins
3) Re-uploading core files
If the plugin option didn’t fix the internal server error, then it is worth re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folder from a fresh WordPress install. This will NOT remove any of your information, but it may solve the problem in case any file was corrupted.
Last and finally Ask your hosting provider
