for six times, we have resolved this error, your template and plugin is causing an error that results in http 500 error
at any time we update a website from our wordpress admin dashboard, that is hosted next to the one using your template
it will cause http 500 error after a few hours of that update
for reference, look into the chat i have had with our hosting provider, bluehost
Hi @wassim,
Sorry to hear of the problem you are having.
I checked your shared chat log and found following entries related to issue.
If any update will overwrite the .htaccess file in the sites, this will happen
Theme and plugins don’t update this file and only WordPress update may overwrite it but most of the time it is preserved by WordPress.
If the theme or plugins updates not compatible with php shown in .htaccess that will show 500 error
I have installed the php 5.6 now.
Before making any update you should confirm if that update compatible with php 5.6
The WordPress itself need PHP version 7.2 or greater as described in this page https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ and also the PHP version 5.6 that you are using is not supported anymore as described here http://php.net/supported-versions.php so please update PHP version on your server to avoid this issue.
Best regards,
Shufflehound team
