I would actually like to thank you DannyF247 for that comment, why? Because I had no idea my site was getting the 500 “Internal Server Error” again. Also, because of this I actually ended up fixing the problems myself!

I went in and replaced the htaccess file with a backup I had created of it earlier to get the site back up and running. I then went in and deactivated all of my plugins and also installed reinstalled WordPress using the reinstall button. I didn’t think that would really do too much, but turns out it fixed the searching issue. I then opened up W3 Total Cache and noticed I was still getting this error:

“It appears Page Cache URL rewriting is not working. If using apache, verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess or if using nginx verify all configuration files are included in the configuration.”

Just for fun, I decided to delete W3 Total Cache again and reinstall it, except this time using the search feature that wasn’t working before.. after doing so the error was gone! I reactivated all of my plugins and the error came back. So I deactivated them again and did what anyone else would do, active them one by one and continue checking for the error. Found the plugin that was the culprit, it’s a plugin that allows you to place extra required fields onto the registration page. No big deal, deleted it. Everything seems to be working now!

Thanks for your concern!
