ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE is killing me: Help!

  • I am working on a page which is a long article with many images and lots of formatting. As I’m working, I regularly receive ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE when I try to save/update the page. The result is a loss of anything I’ve changed, which has grown to be a significant problem.

    This is the first time I’ve ever run into this kind of problem. I get a bewildering array of results when I query Google about WordPress and the ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE fail. I don’t even know where to begin. Any help is greatly appreciated. I’m using WordPress 5.0.3 running Twenty Sixteen theme.

    Try using the “Classic Editor” as this may be an issue with the new editor. If it works with the Classic Editor, then you can decide whether you’re interested in going through the debugging process.

    PLUGINS->ADD NEW. Classic Editor should be one of the first you see.

    OK, then, a couple of possibilities. It could be that the post is too long or the server is seeing a security issue. The latter would probably respond with a 4XX error, so let’s try bumping up the maximum post size.

    Is this a multisite WP site?

    Try adding this to your .htaccess file:

    php_value post_max_size 64M

    Single WP site.
    I’ve added the line to the .htaccess file.
    Testing now.
