   many things to solve this, I didn’t get rid off from this but now ‘m facing 500
   internal server error, I searched for this error so I found that may be some `.

   the `.htaccess` file and also changes the rules but not solves yet.

 * If there’s a 500 internal error, chances are it’s in your PHP error log, OR, 
   if you have debug log enabled on your site, it may be there as well.
 * Every server is different, especially hosts, so your log may not be in the same
   place as mine – my log is at /var/log/httpd/error_log and can be read with notepad,
   or if you’re SSH savvy, just `tail -f error_log` and watch when the error happens.
 * If you’re on a managed or shared host, chances are you’ll have to contact them
   to get a copy of your log.
 * Alternatively, if you have access to your wp-config.php file ( you should! ) 
   just enable debug there. With WP_DEBUG on, you’ll get a file located at wp-content/
   debug.log which you can read yourself.
 * Once you find the bug that’s causing the error, you’ll either A have to disable
   the plugin, or B, fix it yourself / or contact the dev.

 * I tried to fix the errors but one of the errors are:
 * > **Notice**: The called constructor method for WP_Widget is deprecated since
   > version 4.3.0! Use
   > __construct()
   > instead.
 * But I’ve been updated my wordpress to 4.3.1, so why this error is coming ?

 * Your theme or a plugin has extended `WP_Widget` class to create a unique widget
   in addition to WP defaults. Their class declaration is using an outdated constructor
   method. You can identify the source by selectively deactivating plugins that 
   add widgets or by switching to a default theme. When the notice stops you’ve 
   found the source of obsolete code. Contact the author and request they update
   their code.
 * Note this is just a Notice level “error”, it does not cause any problems letting
   it persist — at least for now. It is rather annoying, but harmless. There is 
   a way to have PHP not log such notices by editing php.ini, but not all hosts 
   allow access to this file.
