How do I fix http 500 error?
-
Basically last night everything was working, and today when I woke up I noticed that it won’t display, I did play around with the .htaccess file last night but when I went to sleep it all worked. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Internal server errors (error 500) are often caused by plugin or theme function conflicts, so if you have access to your admin panel, try deactivating all plugins. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Sixteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.
If that does not resolve the issue, it’s possible that a .htaccess rule could be the source of the problem. To check for this, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and rename the .htaccess file. If you can’t find a .htaccess file, make sure that you have set your SFTP or FTP client to view invisible files.
If you weren’t able to resolve the issue by either resetting your plugins and theme or renaming your .htaccess file, we may be able to help, but we’ll need a more detailed error message. Internal server errors are usually described in more detail in the server error log. If you have access to your server error log, generate the error again, note the date and time, then immediately check your server error log for any errors that occurred during that specific time period. If you don’t have access to your server error log, ask your hosting provider to look for you.
Hey, I have access to the error log, I have no idea what this means though

That won’t help, it’s impossible to know which one out of all those times is the cause of the 500.
As mentioned, If you have access to your server error log, generate the error again, note the date and time, then immediately check your server error log for any errors that occurred during *that specific time period*. If you don’t have access to your server error log, ask your hosting provider to look for you.
For example, if you load your site at 14:05 (server time) and still see the 500 error, we need the error that’s logged at 14:05 (server time) and only that error.
