 * Hi,
    I’ve been working on a small businesses website for them (ohioaerospacestrategy.
   org). I was editing some code for the zerif lite theme, wanted to add in a search
   bar, and I updated. Now I can’t reach the site at all, not even to log in. I 
   just get the message “The ohioaerospacestrategy.org page isn’t working – website
   is currently unable to handle this request. 500” I can’t even get to my code 
   to see what to fix. Can someone please help?

   backend and make changes…I did a restore of the public_html directory, no change…

 * > I have exactly the same issue.
 * How so?
 * let alone lugins, server, etc., even your theme is different then [@fentonke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fentonke/)!!
 * Further, your currently used “joyfulsounds” theme is not in the wordpress.org/
   themes/ directory:
    [https://wordpress.org/themes/search/joyfulsounds/](https://wordpress.org/themes/search/joyfulsounds/)
 * These forums are for free themes available in the WordPress theme directory at
   wordpress.org/themes/. So please contact the developer/vendor directly for support
   with your question. You’ll be more likely to find a good answer from them, for
   they have the access to its code. Forum volunteers are not given access to commercial/
   custom products, so they would not know why your /custom/commercial theme or 
   plugin is not working properly. The developers/vendors are responsible for supporting
   their custom/commercial product. See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products)

 * So to get it working we had to download and replace the wp-includes and wp-admin
   folders, as well as the wordpress files from the root. We left the wp-content
   folder alone so it didn’t affect the live site.
    All appears to be working fine
   now.

 * I had this problem too, and it was because of some of the permissions of the 
   folders/files. The first one I chmoded was wp-includes, which then enabled the
   error messages. I then hunted down and fixed the directory permissions based 
   on the error messages.
