 * Can you please provide some more information?
    An error 500 can be anything… 
   Please set WP_DEBUG to true in your wp-config.php to enable error reporting.
 * More info on WP_DEBUG can be found on [https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG](https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG)
 * Once that is added, you should get see more details. 🙂

 * Thanks for message.
    I set WP_DEBUG to true. I can see 2 entries.

 * I see… you are probably on PHP 5.2.
    PHP 5.2 was released 11 years ago and PHP
   stopped supporting it 7 years ago. It is considered and archaic and insecure 
   version of PHP since it hasn’t gotten any security updates in years, so I would
   advise you to update to a newer PHP version as soon as possible. Can you update
   your PHP version to something above 5.3? 5.6+ would be preferable since WordPress
   will require at least 5.6 in April. If you have cPanel on that server you can
   do it in just a couple of clicks. I’ll be releasing a fix for this in the plugin
   but it’s going to take me a few hours. If updating the PHP version is not possible,
   you can download the previous version of the Kirki plugin which was working fine
   with your version of PHP from this link: [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/kirki.3.0.34.1.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/kirki.3.0.34.1.zip)
