I upgraded to the latest version of WP yesterday, and from there Ive had a sleepless night of hell.
I am getting a 500 error ... and there is no solution in sight.
I have done the following things
- edited config and made sure my memory was set to 256 (nothing)
- renames my plugins folder completely to disable all plugins (nothing)
- renamed my themes folder to try and use another theme (nothing, no change), also updated theme (I am using the smartscreen theme, it was one iteration behind ut I have also tried with the updated theme (only a .01 iteration so nthing huge).
- I used total cache .. so I also removed in the entirety the WT3C plugin and all caching diretories/objects/configs ... removed all cache as well as associated files/directories etc
- renamed htaccess file to reset ... when I do this, instead of a 500 error I then get a 503 error (I also tried to make a new .htaccess file added in the following - no result). When I manually also edit the old htaccess and manually remove all references to total cache, I then get the 503 error also
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress- set debug in the config .. this does nothing and doesn't display any errors, not even in the log *i set up a error.log file with 666 permissions in the wp-content folder, nothing is being written to). I dont know what is happening here as the errors dont even dispaly - Ive used the following
/** debugging */
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);Seriously have tried almost everything and csnt work out what is going on.
Please does anyon have any suggestions? All was well until I upgraded to the latest version and I cant even get errors to display to hunt it down ...
