Hi @speed2010,
This is really weird to see this issue. Before pushing the update I’ve personally tested it on several different websites with different hosts but haven’t faced this issue even once. In fact I’ve just installed this plugin to another site and it gets installed and activated just fine. No error whatsoever.
Also it is very hard to figure out what is going wrong in your system just by looking at the Internal Server Error (500) notice.
Here is what I will suggest you to provide so that I can help you further on this:
If you are using a cPanel based hosting,
- Login to your cPanel
- Open file manager
- Hopefully you have installed your wordpress site in the root, i.e. in /public_html/ folder. If not, go to the root folder where your wordpress site has been installed.
- Look for a file named error_log. Check when is the last time it has been updated. Copy paste the last few lines from that error log here.
- Now go inside the /wp-admin/ folder and look for error_log file inside there. Do the same with that file too. Open the file, and copy/past the last few log messages here. So that I can see what is going on with your system
- If your site is throwing an internal server error and you don’t see an error_log file, then you host might have disabled it. Contact your host to get the error_log file, because without those files, it is extremely hard to see what went wrong in your system.
- If you don’t have cPanel, you can also use FTP to checkout the error_log files I’ve mentioned above
I wish there were any other easy way. Unfortunately I’ve tried really hard to simulate the problem you are facing on my end but no matter how many sites I test it, I face no issue whatsoever. So, unfortunately, I must need your error_log file details to see what is going wrong with your system.
Hope you will understand. Looking forward to your reply.
