Title: [Plugin FeedWorldPress] 500 internal server error Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin FeedWorldPress] 500 internal server error * Resolved [olivier-wp-forum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/olivier-wp-forum/) * (@olivier-wp-forum) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-plugin-feedworldpress-500-internal-server-error/) * Hi everyone, * My site is substantially structured around the use of FeedWorldPress, which up until last week was working perfectly well… until it brought the site down with a 500 error. Since then, I have been painfully and laborously trying to find a solution to fix this. * I first posted [this thread ](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/325492?replies=8) but had no luck despite a couple of useful comments. I also found possible solutions on the developer’s site [here](http://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/blogs/radgeek/2009/07/07/feedwordpress-20090707#comment-1772), [here](http://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/blogs/radgeek/2009/07/07/feedwordpress-20090707#comment-1773), [and here](http://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/blogs/radgeek/2009/07/07/feedwordpress-20090707#comment-1870); and posted questions [here](http://feedwordpress.radgeek.com/blogs/radgeek/2009/07/07/feedwordpress-20090707#comment-1894), but it seems that that support forum is not very active and I am still waiting for some answers/pointers 🙁 * Status is as follows: – When FeedWorldPress is activated, the site times out and/or returns a 500. When FeedWorldPress is deactivated, the page loading and rendering go as far as the first call is made and stops right there, leaving a partially rendered page. – When rechecking wp_options with phpMyAdmin, several ‘rss_’ files were already created, so FeedWorldPress was still pulling the feeds, but that didn’t translate into a displayed feed content. – And from my WP admin pages under Posts, I can see all the new posts being registered, logged and indexed. * So, everything seems to be ticking away well in the background but when activated, the plugin simply brings the whole site down with a time out or a 500 error. I checked the php code with the HTML, but everything looks normal and as per it was when the site was working, as I haven’t changed that code at all since all went down. * I really do not know what to do and where to look at now to make this work again. I am quite anxious now… * Any help, feedback, pointers, advice… whatever, anything would be more than welcome… * Many thanks, * Cheers, * Olivier Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * [kesseret](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kesseret/) * (@kesseret) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-plugin-feedworldpress-500-internal-server-error/#post-1263615) * Olivier: * I run a pretty large feed with a large readership and for me uptime is the most important factor. So if I were in your situation I’d troubleshoot like this: 1. Disable all plugins and switch to the basic theme. What happens? If it works as advertised then I know it’s the theme. 2. If that doesn’t work I’d say ‘screw it’ and just export and backup what I can (using wordpress export and phpmyadmin backup), make sure to get multiple backups (I’m super paranoid due to a past incident). Backup your folders in your public_html (on the hosting- www, htdocs, httpdocs- whatever it is called) and then redo the whole wordpress installation. * I’ve done it in under 2 hours myself when under the gun. My database back then was currently about 200MB. I’ve learned how to trim/maintain it so I don’t have to ever import 200MB again. I hope this helps you some in the advice department. —- In reading your other posts has your hosting provided to you the reason for the 500 error? * What is the traffic on your blog like? I know I have had to upgrade hosting plans 2 times since Aug due to concurrent mysql connections. (this resulted in an error 500). * Good luck! * Thread Starter [olivier-wp-forum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/olivier-wp-forum/) * (@olivier-wp-forum) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-plugin-feedworldpress-500-internal-server-error/#post-1263624) * Hi Kesseret, * Thanks for the time to reply to this post. I did all you explained but in the end, nothing I did worked. It took a complete re-install of 2.8.6 to kick-start the whole thing again. It all seems stable at the moment… Fingers crossed 🙂 * Cheers, * Olivier Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) The topic ‘[Plugin FeedWorldPress] 500 internal server error’ is closed to new replies. * 2 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [olivier-wp-forum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/olivier-wp-forum/) * Last activity: [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-feedwordpress-plugin-feedworldpress-500-internal-server-error/#post-1263624) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
