There are various WordPress Issues that can create conflict with in WordPress configuration, But there are 8 main server issues that affect your WordPress website

So this is a main issue mentioned below and how to fix them as well.

Internal server error (Error 500):

An internal server error generally called “Error 500” states that something went wrong with the server.

If your WordPress website displays an Internal Server Error message so no need to worry about it, Sometimes a PHP error, we can simply debug it by enabling the debug mode on.

How can we enable the debug mode in php?

 

In wp-config.php you can write a small one line code written down below

i.e. define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);

That’s how you turn on the debug mode in your PHP.

There are various reasons that can cause Internal Server Error.

Maybe there are some issues in your php function which is one of the reasons. The server encountered an unforeseen circumstance that prohibited it from processing the request, as indicated by the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 500 Internal Server Error server error response code. This error message is a “catch-all” general answer.
Memory limit could be also one of the reasons for “Error 500”. For that you can try to raise the memory limit through config.php or php.ini.
There are silly spelling mistakes in code due to which an Internal Server Error message could be displayed.
Sometimes the .htaccess file is corrupted and sometimes it is automatically created which can cause an Error 500. What we can simply do is to locate that corrupted .htaccess file and rename it Ex~.htaccess1,If the file is automatically created then we can remove that .htaccess file and make a new one.

Sometimes fixing and picking out the issues can be a cakewalk but sometimes it could be hard enough and need a lot of time and effort to find out and resolve them. For that you should have enough knowledge to resolve those errors.
