 * Please enable the wordpress debug mode and create a wordpress debug log.
    To 
   do so follow the article below: [https://wp-staging.com/docs/enable-wordpress-debug-log-mode/](https://wp-staging.com/docs/enable-wordpress-debug-log-mode/)
 * Do this on your staging site.
 * Then try to open again the staging site and open the debug.log. It will tell 
   you which plugin is causing the error 500.
 * Let me know the the error message and I know what’s to do;-)
 * You can also contact me directly via the error report button

 * Please set the small server settings:
    [https://wp-staging.com/docs/wp-staging-settings-for-small-servers/](https://wp-staging.com/docs/wp-staging-settings-for-small-servers/)
 * Also add the following code to the wp-config.php:
 * `define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );`
 * Check first if that line is already in that file. If it is just change the value
   to 256M
 * If this still does not work I can offer you to check it out. Please send me a
   mail to support [at] wp-staging.com
 * If it works I am glad if you let me know about it.
