 * Ok hey I was wondering if anyone is having problem accessing my plugins and get
   a 500 error I could prob delete and scope out what plugin is the culprit.I read
   that 500error is server side
    Just wondering if there is a quick fix and if people
   have been having the same problem I have 25 plugins also while I’m at it my widget
   save Button is gone and I don’t miss it;) But it does show up once in a while
   Any help tips would be appreciated thanks

 * I had the same problem.
 * In the /wp-admin/ directory, I added a notepad file titled “php.ini” with only
   the text “memory=20MB” (no quotes)
 * This has something to do with host servers generally limiting the php access 
   to 8MB, which is not enough when installing many plugins at once.
 * Hope this fixes your problem!
