# Plugin Update causes HTTP Error 500

 * Every time I try to update the plugin, it causes my site to crash and results
   in an HTTP 500 Error. I looked at the plugin information in the network-posts-
   extend.php file inside the plugin folder on my site, and it differs from the 
   latest version you have: The version of the plugin I’m using states:
    **Plugin
   Name: Network Posts Ext Plugin URI: [https://wp-plugins.johncardell.com/network-posts-extended/](https://wp-plugins.johncardell.com/network-posts-extended/)
   Description: Network Posts Extended plugin enables you to share posts over WP
   Multi Site network. You can display on any post type from any blog in your network
   by post type, taxonomy or blog. Version: 0.4.7 Author: John Cardell Author URI:
   [http://www.johncardell.com](http://www.johncardell.com) Copyright 2014 John 
   Cardell
 * That Plugin URI link above goes to a 404 page. Am I using a different version
   of the one in the WordPress plugin directory? Because the latest version of the
   plugin has a Plugin URI of [https://wordpress.org/plugins/network-posts-extended/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/network-posts-extended/)
   and I just can’t update it successfully.
 * How do I update it without causing my site to crash?
 * Thanks

 * I haven’t updated my website yet, will come soon sorry.
 * As far as the 500 error I’m not getting that on my website. Can you give me a
   link to your website? Plus if you’d like me to look around please fill out the
   form here with ftp and temporary admin access. Plus I can send you a version 
   which you can try to upload via ftp.

 * Below is the latest information about the plugin from the main .php file
 *     ```
       /*
       Plugin Name: Network Posts Ext
       Plugin URI: https://wordpress.org/plugins/network-posts-extended/
