Title: 500 error upon install Last modified: March 11, 2020 --- # 500 error upon install * [gobyfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gobyfish/) * (@gobyfish) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-error-upon-install/) * Hello there. I’ve tried this plugin on two different sites this morning, on two different servers. In each case I have tried: * – Installing Version 1.3.5.9 – Rolling back to the previous patched version – Turning off all plugins except Asset Cleanup * Both sites gave 500 errors immediately, and those went away upon deactivation of the Asset Cleanup plugin. * Both sites are running Elementor if that matters, but as I said, those plugins were turned off to no avail. - This topic was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by [gobyfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gobyfish/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2F500-error-upon-install%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) * (@gabelivan) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-error-upon-install/#post-12534160) * [@gobyfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gobyfish/) thanks for reporting this and my apologies for the inconvenience you had! Are you getting these errors in the front-end view when you’re logged-in or it behaves the same way when you access the website as a guest? Can you please setup “Error Log Monitor” plugin that would report nicely within the Dashboard a widget with any PHP errors you have. That 500 internal error you got had, most likely, a PHP fatal error and if you can provide me the details of that error, I can understand what’s going on and fix it (perhaps there’s an incompatibility with another plugin). * PS: I’d like to offer you a free license of the Pro version once this is solved. If you can help me fix a plugin issue and there’s an incompatibility I didn’t know about, then I’d like to reward you, of course, if you will be interested in trying the Pro features. * Thread Starter [gobyfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gobyfish/) * (@gobyfish) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-error-upon-install/#post-12534217) * Thanks for the response! Oddly enough the PHP Error Log is showing zero errors. I am still getting a 502 error on the site’s homepage: [https://fortelabs.co/](https://fortelabs.co/) * The individual blog posts and Pages of the site seem to work just fine: * [https://fortelabs.co/blog/](https://fortelabs.co/blog/) [https://fortelabs.co/blog/tiagos-comprehensive-guide-to-creating-a-profitable-online-course](https://fortelabs.co/blog/tiagos-comprehensive-guide-to-creating-a-profitable-online-course) * But the homepage does not work. In Test Mode I can indeed see the homepage. * Plugin Author [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) * (@gabelivan) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-error-upon-install/#post-12534219) * [@gobyfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gobyfish/) Do you have “Manage in the front-end” enabled from “Plugin usage preferences”? Have you tried in Incognito as well? Is it still showing a 502 error? What about testing it with different browsers? That’s very unusual indeed! * Thread Starter [gobyfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gobyfish/) * (@gobyfish) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-error-upon-install/#post-12534226) * With incognito it works just fine! And it also displays just fine in Safari. * So…Google Chrome is throwing the 502 error, but only outside of incognito mode. Are you more confused than ever now? Haha. * Plugin Author [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) * (@gabelivan) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-error-upon-install/#post-12534285) * [@gobyfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gobyfish/) can you append any query string to the URL such as /?nocache ([https://fortelabs.co/?nocache](https://fortelabs.co/?nocache))? It always works for me, loading the homepage, as a guest. It could be something on your end. Do you have Chrome on a different laptop/PC where you could test? * Thread Starter [gobyfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gobyfish/) * (@gobyfish) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-error-upon-install/#post-12534321) * /?nocache didn’t make a difference. That is a good trick though. * Once I take the site off of test mode, it throws the 502 error. And that error is happening on all browsers and in incognito mode. * Plugin Author [Gabe Livan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabelivan/) * (@gabelivan) * [6 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/500-error-upon-install/#post-12534338) * [@gobyfish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gobyfish/) if “Error Log Monitor” was setup (not just activated) and didn’t report anything, can you please contact your hosting company? They should have all the logs with any errors that got triggered. Can you send me your “System Info” (from “Tools”, plugin’s menu) via [https://gabelivan.com/contact/](https://gabelivan.com/contact/) (privately, as it contains sensitive information you might not want to share here)?
