 * Hi WooCommerce,
 * I updated the plugin today but now my website is not accessible and provides 
   a HTTP ERROR 500 message. Because the entire site is down I cannot restore my
   backups. Thankfully it was on a website I was currently building and not any 
   of the trading websites.
 * robo.globe-trotter.com
 * Any ideas what happened here and how I can fix it?
 * Thank you

 * If it helps anyone else, create a folder in your FTP within the plugins folder
   and called it disabled. Put all plugins in that disabled folder then go back 
   to your wordpress site.
 * Everything should load up ok.
 * Remove WooCommerce from the disabled folder and put it back in the plugin folder.
   Go back to wordpress and activate woocommerce and run the updater.
 * Once updated remove the rest of the plugins from the disabled folder and put 
   them back in the plugins folder and reactive one by one.
 * ITS GONNA BE OK 🙂

 * Did you work out which plugin caused the error?

 * Note quite sure to be honest, when i was reactivating my plugins it went down
   again briefly. I redid what i did before and magically everything activated without
   an issue.
 * My thoughts are some of the plugins were referencing woocommerce but when it 
   went down to update and reactivate itself it went a bit crazy. When i managed
   to get back in and reactivate woocommerce and run the updater everything seemed
   to be ok.

 * Sounds like thats the case. Ideally you should work out which so the author can
   prevent it using WC functions when WC is disabled.

 * I did the process Equisitor outlined but only took out the two plugins referenced
   in the error message and it worked. The two problem plugins were
    * Woocommerce
   Bundle Rate Shipping Plugin * Woocommerce Conversion Tracking Plugin
