 * Hello,
 * I have a couple of domains for my company which has different content but the
   same plugins, theme etc.
 * Before i update my domains i always test the updates for my plugins, theme and
   wordpress it self on a development subdomain. when all of them work i run the
   updates on the online versions. When updating my first 4 domains their theme (
   bridge from Qode), plugins and wordpress theme there was no error or any issue.
 * When i started to do the updates on my most important domain i received some 
   issues. I did the exactly same steps as i did for my other domains.
    - First i deactivated all my plugins
    - Then i updated my theme files
    - Then i updated wordpress to 4.7 (I noticed something different then the other
      updates. At the other websites i had to press a buton to update my database
      on this domain i didn’t have to press this button)
    - Then i updated all my plugins
    - Then i started to activate them
 * When i did the last step i got a internal server error 500 on my WP-admin. I 
   deactivated all my plugins in my FTP so i could figure out which one was the 
   bad guy. But then i checked everything with the other domains and its exactly
   the same as the others! (When deactivating these i can visit wp-admin again)
 * What could be the issue on this one? Corrupted database?? Corrupted plugin files??
 * error_log can this be the problem does it need more memory size?

 * Offcourse ,
 * When i looked in my error logs i did see something about memory size.. i had 
   this problem with some query problems aswell so i change the default max memory
   size to 256M in my parallels server (plesk) i did see on a forum you can change
   this in your setting.php or htaccess aswell i am not sure.
