HTTP ERROR 500” Maybe there is the server’s issue? Please help. * [Amit Singh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apprimit/) * (@apprimit) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-folder-directory/#post-10639325) * Go to the file manager inside cpanel. Move over to wp-content > plugins and rename this folder to something else. Now try reloading your site. If it works, then go to the settings > permalinks and hit the save button only. Now rename the plugins folder to the original. * Thread Starter [yyt123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yyt123/) * (@yyt123) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-folder-directory/#post-10645748) * Hi Amit [@apprimit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apprimit/) Thanks for the reply. I just checked my file structure. Under the public folder, I have 4 folders, which is .pki, wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes. However, as I check every folder I found that there is wp-include folder inside wp-admin and wp-content folder, I guess it is probably because I use the FileZilla to drag the folders around. When it first happened, the website showed something like‘ the child theme folder is not available’ but after I changed file structure like what I said in the beginning, the website says ‘HTTP ERROR 500’. So what I have assumed is since I have too many wp-include folders on my server, it may exceeds the wp memory limit, and that’s why it is showing ‘error 500’. So I’m guessing I need to delete other wp-include folders under wp-admin and wp-content? Please give me some suggestions. Thank you. * [Amit Singh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apprimit/) * (@apprimit) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-folder-directory/#post-10645776) * Hi, * wp-include folder should be remain in your root folder along with wp-admin and wp-content. * Check the file structure here – [WordPress file](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Files) * Delete wp-include folder inside from the wp-admin and wp-content folder. * Thread Starter [yyt123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yyt123/) * (@yyt123) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-folder-directory/#post-10646019) * Thanks for following up. Amit [@apprimit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apprimit/) * After I delete the wp-include folder as you suggested, the website is still showing the http error 500, is there anything else I could do? * Thanks in advance. * [Amit Singh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apprimit/) * (@apprimit) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-folder-directory/#post-10646084) * Rename the plugin folder name to the something else e.g plugin.old in wp-content > plugins. * rename the .htaccess file in your root folder to something else e.g .htaccess. old. * try reloading your site. if it works, go to the settings > permalinks and hit the save button. It will generate a new .htaccess file. * now rename the plugin.old folder name to the original one that is plugnis. * hope it will work. * Thread Starter [yyt123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yyt123/) * (@yyt123) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-folder-directory/#post-10646391) * [@apprimit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apprimit/) I tried to rename the folder and .htaccess file, the web is still not working. What will be the last thing I could do about this? * [Amit Singh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apprimit/) * (@apprimit) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-folder-directory/#post-10646422) * The last thing you could do is to update your wordpress core file.
