 * One of the admin usernames in the website had a blank space, and so this line
   below would cause a 500 error:
 * RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !wordpress_logged_in_[^\=]+\=John Doe|gina@doe.com
   |jackson@doe.com|rob@doe.com
 * Removing that username manually would fix the issue. Changing their role also
   helped.

 * For anyone curious… I was unable to replicate the issue on a fresh site (on a
   different server).
