 *  I am finding this issue recurring with my website too. A few pointers if you
   have any suggestions –
    1. My website is quite old. I have quite a few files in Cpanel. Maybe I need to
       clean up once, the files created by plugins / themes that I got rid of
    2. Working with Error log or phpmyadmin tables is not within my zone of tech expertiese/
       experience. I am basically not a tech person.
    3. Tried out renaming a few plugin folders that I consider not as essential, but
       that did not fix the error.
    4. My website is persistently showing Internal Server Error for nealy 12 hours 
       now.
    5. Tried also this one – Settings > Parmalinks > save (again) but no results.

 * Errors like this are logged. Check the error log on your server. If you can’t
   find the log, please contact your host.
 * Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log and after an error, look at wp-content/
   debug.log to see if anything gets logged there. [https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
 * You can also try this: Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of 
   the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one
   to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you cannot access wp-admin, there are other ways to deactivate plugins:  [https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus)

 * Thank you [@sterndata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/) for such
   a prompt and useful response.
 * Debugging: though that’s too technical for me to handle, but, the Debug Bar plugin
   is something that I will give a try.
 * Also, other tipes therein. I will revert after few hours with my results.
