 * Hi, I am having a problem with my website since the last 2 weeks. Everytime I
   try to edit the homepage with Elementor and I update it, I get this Server Error(
   500 Internal Server Error) and the changes are not saved. It only happens with
   the main page but not with the other sections of the website.
 * Can someone help me? I don’t know what to do since it’s been like this for last
   2 weeks and I am quite desperate.
 * Thank you!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhelp-500-internal-server-error-5%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Errors like this are logged. Check the error log on your server. If you can’t
   find the log, please contact your host.
 * Meantime, enable wp_debug and wp_debug_log and after an error, look at wp-content/
   debug.log to see if anything gets logged there. [https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
 * You can also try this: Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of 
   the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one
   to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you cannot access wp-admin, there are other ways to deactivate plugins.

 * A 500 error could also mean you are trying to do something the server firewall
   thinks is bad. Talk to your Hoster about this and they can check their error 
   logs as well.

 * Thank you very much, problem solved!
 * For those with the same problem, I asked my Host about it and they saw that my
   site was exceeding the php memory consumption limit per process. I just had to
   change the memory_limit parameter to the maximum (1024MB) in the cpanel.
