Title: Admin Pages Section HTTP Error 500 Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Admin Pages Section HTTP Error 500 * [black_mezziah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/black_mezziah/) * (@black_mezziah) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-pages-section-http-error-500/) * Hello, * I may be needing help, I have this problem for a while now. I am encountering“ _HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request._” when I open up my admin pages section “[http://subdomain.domain-name.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page”](http://subdomain.domain-name.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page”);. This issue is only on that section other sections like “POST”,”SETTINGS” & etc. is all good. * I have tried to resolve issue using “deactivation of some plugins” and changing settings on “config.php” and other files. * Hope someone could enlighten me why I am encountering this and can give a little piece of solutions. * P.S The site that I have been working on is adding multiple pages so far there are 4,724 pages and still adding. Also I am working on a sub-domain. * Thanks, Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * [s_ha_dum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apljdi/) * (@apljdi) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-pages-section-http-error-500/#post-2963438) * Try to explain when this started and what settings you have changed. * Thread Starter [black_mezziah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/black_mezziah/) * (@black_mezziah) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-pages-section-http-error-500/#post-2963517) * Hi thanks for your reply, actually this happens when I am adding pages, and before that I have created a plugin and installed it, then the pages section still working after awhile adding more pages, it collapse and I can’t access it anymore it gives me that “HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error):….” error. * I already remove the plugins that I have installed and still I am getting this error. * What do you think cause this problem? * [Johnb81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnb81/) * (@johnb81) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-pages-section-http-error-500/#post-2963525) * Did you try to upload a fresh install of WordPress?

It does sound like you have a broken installation. Just treat it like a [manual update](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update). * Thread Starter [black_mezziah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/black_mezziah/) * (@black_mezziah) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-pages-section-http-error-500/#post-2963562) * Already tried re-installing manually following steps on this link [http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update](http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update), but still I am having the same error. * Do you think this is because of too many pages? for now I do have added 4,903 pages. * [s_ha_dum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apljdi/) * (@apljdi) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-pages-section-http-error-500/#post-2963564) * > Do you think this is because of too many pages? for now I do have added 4,903 > pages. * Doubtful. We’ve got over 10,000 posts, pages, and custom post type entries ( functionally they are all pretty much the same ), and I have heard of much larger sites. Something else is going on. * What is your URL? * Thread Starter [black_mezziah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/black_mezziah/) * (@black_mezziah) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-pages-section-http-error-500/#post-2963596) * I think so, because I do also read some of the post that wordpress could manage more than 10,000 posts, pages and custom types. * I did try these codes: * set “define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);” to true and add these lines, “error_reporting( E_ALL | E_STRICT ); ini_set(‘display_errors’, 1);” on the wp-config.php file and I ended up to these errors, * Notice: register_sidebar_widget is deprecated since version 2.8!

They are all non-fatal. * At this point, a lot of things are still possible, but I have seen this kind of thing with badly written .htaccess rules. What do you have in your .htaccess file? * Another thing that is drifting to the top of my mind is that you are having actual server problems. * Thread Starter [black_mezziah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/black_mezziah/) * (@black_mezziah) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-pages-section-http-error-500/#post-2963612) * Sorry I forgot to place my URL: [http://ncf.olympiaroofing-company.com/](http://ncf.olympiaroofing-company.com/) * Also on my .htaccess file I do have this line of codes: * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!- d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] * # END WordPress * [s_ha_dum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apljdi/) * (@apljdi) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-pages-section-http-error-500/#post-2963613) * That looks like a normal .htaccess file. * I don’t see any server errors now. You must have been doing some work. I do see some 404 errors on some of your resources. Like these: * ``` http://ncf.olympiaroofing-company.com/includes/PublishHead.js http://ncf.olympiaroofing-company.com/includes/video/html5/js/findlaw-players.js http://ncf.olympiaroofing-company.com/includes/PublishHead.js ``` * I expect that that is probably due to the use of relative URLs in some of the markup. Relative URLs are tricky inside WordPress because of the way that it and Apache conspire to lie about the site’s directory structure. * Just curious…. why does an “olympia roofing company” URL lead to a law firm’s website? * [TIEPIEZ](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tiepiez/) * (@tiepiez) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-pages-section-http-error-500/#post-2963703) * Hi all, I had something similar but figured it out with the help of my hosting provider. * In my case I got the http 500 error when clicking on [http://www.example.com/wp-admin/edit.php](http://www.example.com/wp-admin/edit.php) which should display the list of blogposts. This occurred more or less overnight and I hadn’t made any changes before. And it’s not that I have that many posts( 45). * Looking online, most resources pointed to apache resource settings so I contacted my server admin and they took a look. Turns out the memory_limit was set to 64Mb and the site required a bit more. This is usually enough for sites, so probably my site required more due to bad programming I did, but anyway, after setting memory_limit to 256Mb, everything worked fine again. * This is probably not a “one fix fits all” but might help some of you.
