 * Hi,
    Created a new feed today and now Im getting 500 – Internal Server Error 
   if I click any link in the admin and the following error seems to be the culprit
   from the error log
 * Timeout waiting for output from CGI script /home/macdow5/public_html/wp-admin/
   admin-ajax.php, referer: [https://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woosea_manage_feed](https://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=woosea_manage_feed)
 * Im using Siteground Gogeek, and everything was working perfectly before I generated
   this new feed

 * Hi cath88,
 * The plugin stopped using the admin-ajax.php some months ago already so I very
   much doubt our plugin is causing the 500 error. Could it be that Siteground is
   restricting access to some URL’s / directories?
 * Best,
    Eva

 * No Idea but I now suspect this is related to WPML. I copied that error directly
   from the error log.

 * Have you tried deactivating our plugin (do NOT delete it otherwise you will lose
   all feed configurations) to see if the 500 error disappears when our plugin is
   deactivated?
 * All the best,
    Eva
