 * When I refreshed my page to check on my orders I received a 500 Internal Server
   Error. I haven’t changed anything other than updating my orders. When I went 
   to check on the website, it returns with the same error.

   I can’t login to the administration page, I can’t view my website. What do I 
   need to do? Please be gentle – I am below Novice level at this. Thanks!

 * Have you tried disabling all plugins?
    Also activate WP_DEBUG in wp-config.php
   that would show any errors.

 * Thanks Rajesh for replying so quickly –
    How do I disable the plugins if I can’t
   get into the administration panel? Can I do it from my host site? If so, where
   in the file manager should I look? I see the plugins folder and each of the plugins
   has a folder. Also, how do I activate WP_DEBUG? Do I change this to “TRUE”? –“
   define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, FALSE);” Thanks for your help!

 * Temporarily rename wp-content/plugins to wp-content/plugins_old
 * > Also, how do I activate WP_DEBUG?
 *     ```
       define("WP_DEBUG", true);
       ```

 * I renamed wp-content/plugins to wp-content/plugins_old.
 * I tried to change these values to TRUE
 * define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, FALSE);
    @ini_set(‘display_errors’, FALSE);
 * but it tells me “the server encountered an unspecified error” when I try to save
   the changes.

 * **ShawnaM** – it looks like your site is on GoDaddy and they are having major
   server problems (as are many other hosting companies) – so your problem may well
   be related to that – see:
