 * This issue generally occur for version mismatch. The following steps turned to
   have fixed the issue and I haven’t got any problems so far with my website:
    - Check Version number ($wp_db_version) from Database and copy it
    - Navigate to wp-includes/version.php and Replace the version number

 * Hiya Timo,
 * I had a quick look, your site currently uses WordPress 4.8.5. I’m not sure what
   is causing the 500 error, we’ll have to do some debugging for that, but I would
   like to start with a manual update if you don’t mind?
 * The instructions for doing so are available at [https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update](https://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update)
