 * We’re running a network of about 50 sites and recently began experiencing 504
   Gateway Timeout errors.
 * We’ve looked at plugins, but have still experienced issues with many of them 
   disabled.
 * The primary consideration now is a WooThemes Canvas theme update that serves 
   as a Parent Theme to about 25 of the Child Themes. I’m wondering if there may
   be a limit to the way WP handles child themes.

 * Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

 * Check your server error logs for insight. You may get some, then again, you may
   not. 500 errors can be a pain.

 * [@kjodle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kjodle/) Thanks. We’ve been looking
   at logs, but we’re getting 200,000 lines of errors at times. This has just recently
   started and the hosting company just told us today that they were having “a few
   timeouts system wide last week” this morning.
 * …wondering if it may be a hosting issue more than something we’re causing?

 * A … limit? Why do you think that?

 * Sadly you’re going to have to start working your way through them 🙁
