Wordpress Error 500, Blank Page, No Error Logs - FIXED

The dreaded wordpress error 500 or blank page


Let me not waste your time.

I had the error 500 and blank page problem when I migrated a wordpress installation to the live server (production server).

They were the following errors;


  • Error 500 in some instances when the page was refreshed, 
  • Blank Page with no error message and no google chrome console error
  • No Error Logs - No errors were logged or displayed in debug.log, on screen or in the cpanel log even after configuring debugging in the wp-config.php file
I checked for the following that did not work;
  • No file permission errors
  • No database errors
  • No htaccess errors
This is what worked;
I looked online but could not find any solution that worked. But then while reading one article they hinted about a possible server misconfiguration.

So I checked the PHP Version Settings in my cpanel and changed it from 5.4 to 5.6 and refreshed the website and that was it!

Many cpanel provided by webhosts have a php version changer feature, find it, swap your php version and apply. If using wamp on windows/ local host, it can be found by left-clicking the Wamp notification icon and going to the php options, modifying it and restarting your server.

    I stick to this Digital Ocean vs AWS type of subject matter. By means of a good talk, the particular issue will be responded to. Several Cpanel given by webhosts use a phpmodel changer characteristic, believe it is, change the php model and also use. When making use of wamp about windows/ neighborhood sponsor, it could be identified simply by left-clicking the particular Wamp notification star and also planning to the particular php alternatives, adjusting that and also restarting the server.

The Mysterious Subframe Bushings: When Your Vehicle Clunks And Swerves And You've Done It All With No Resolution.

Let me take you on a journey—a journey of frustration, mystery, and one miraculous discovery that had me simultaneously shaking my head and laughing out loud. It all began with my trusty (or so I thought) sedan, which started making some suspicious clunks and clanks that would make even a 1920s jalopy sound like a luxury ride.   The Symptoms That Launched a Thousand Google Searches It started innocently enough—uneven tire wear. “No big deal,” I thought, “probably just an alignment issue.” But soon after, I began noticing other strange things: the steering wheel felt like it was having its own dance party, shaking and vibrating whenever I hit the highway. As I drove, the car began pulling to one side, as if it had a magnetic attraction to ditches. All this was accompanied by a lovely soundtrack of clunks and knocking sounds, especially when I made turns or hit a bump.   Naturally, I did what anyone in my situation would do—I became an internet detective . I scoured ev...

Photocells typically have three wires: a live wire (often black), a load wire (often red), and a neutral wire (often white). The live wire connects to the power source, the load wire connects to the light bulb, and the neutral wire connects to both the power source and the light bulb. Connect the live wire. Connect the live wire from the power source to the live wire on the photocell. Connect the load wire. Connect the load wire from the photocell to the live wire on the light bulb.
