500 – Internal server error
-
I have a problem with wp-ghost plugin and not sure if anyone else is having the same problem after the latest update from 22nd Decemger 2025. As soon as it was update all off my website was showing a
500 – Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
I was not sure why it was happening at first bu luckily for my I have access to all my website on my won windows 2019 server. I link I used is a subdomain for testing plugins and everything else with a fresh install of wordpress so I can see what is going on. I also have access to my database. The server is mine in my living room. I been using wordpress for a long time now since 2016 so got used to it. I am not a code and do not fully understand php.
After reinstalling the plugin and activating it it was working untill I activated lite mode and then the 500 – Internal server error. My PHP Run Time Limits setting are high to allow my to upload large files. My server is a decant server. Its a Dell Power edge T140 with 16GB memory.
Here is what I spotted what is happening after looking at the web.config. The code changes with all redirect code lines. Not sure how to describe it. I reset the web.config back to its original state so it looks like this below. Then I looked at wp-ghost setting and quicky spotted the problem.
Some setting a activated for Pro Verson settings but they will not work because I am using lite mode and are grayed out.
These are the setting below that are causing the 500 – Internal server error. Note sure if the developer reads the forums but hopefully they will and fix the probem ASAP.
These are the setting that need to be turn of if using lite modeUser Security:
Hide Auther ID URL.
Does not require Pro version but still causes the 500 – Internal server error.
WP Core Secutity:
Hide WordPress Common Paths.
Hide WordPress Common Files.Plugins Security:
Hide WordPress Old Plugins Path.
Themes Security:
Hide WordPress Old Themes Path.
The Pro Label shows up on the right and the items a grayed out and you cannot used them.
The developer needs to disable the toggle buttons as well so they cannot be acitvated in lite more and also be disable in lite mode. I tried it on all my websites and the same thing happens untill the above are all switched of.<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
