    Hi

    I am experiencing a HTTP ERROR 500 on this website http://copac.org.za – it seems to be an error with the Enfold theme.

    Here are my troubleshooting steps:

    1. Renamed .htaccess file – did not work
    2. increased PHP memory limit – did not work
    3. Renamed “wp-plugins” folder – did not work
    4. Renamed “enfold” theme folder – website loads!
    5. Updated to latest WordPress + updated all plugins
    6. Changed “enfold” theme folder back to original name – website does not load.

    Therefore it is the theme causing an issue. Do you know what the issue might be?

    Kind Regards
    Chris

    Sorry I solved the error. I had Enfold 4.0.4 installed and the current version is 4.0.5

    But why would I get a HTTP 500 ERROR when it is only 1 version out of date?

    Hope it doesn’t happen again because I really don’t want to go through this process every time I need to update

    Hi Chris,

    Great, glad you got it working and thanks for the feedback. A 500 error can basically be anything, so it’s very difficult to say what could have gone wrong. We’ll keep the thread open in case you should need any further help on the topic.

    Best regards,
    Rikard

    Hi Rikard

    Unfortunately, we are having the same error as before. So I went into cPanel and renamed the “enfold” file to “enfold.s” to get the site is working again. So it definitely is an issue with the theme. The theme is up to date, so I don’t know what it could be.

    Please, can you investigate this for me? I have posted all the login details previously.

    Hi ChrisSchutte,

    You might want to look for server logs.
    https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/55490/what-log-files-does-a-wordpress-installation-write-to
    and or enable debug
    https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/177637/no-error-log-file-no-debug-info
    https://digwp.com/2009/07/monitor-php-errors-wordpress/
    That way you will have a lot more info on what went wrong during update.
    After enabling logging, try to update the theme again.

    Best regards,
    Victoria

    Hi Victoria

    You have not read my post. We weren’t updating the site when this error occurred.

    It happened randomly.

    Hi,

    Sometimes, the server that youre using doesnt support the Enfold theme because of the capacity of the server. May you provide us your host information?

    Hi – I am not too sure of the server etc.

    I have attached the Cpanel details, please could you check?

    Hi ChrisSchutte,

    What I meant was, that you should enable logging and then proceed with installing or updating or activating the theme. that way the errors will be logged and it will be easier to solve them.
    Here is the error in private

    Hi Victoria

    I had to rename the enfold folder to “enfold.s” to enable the site to load. That is how I know it is a theme error causing the error.

    Your error log reflects that “enfold.s” name. So I am not sure if that messed up your test?

    Please try again? We are still getting this HTTP 500 error and it is very frustrating. I have never experienced this with any other theme?

    Hi,

    Thanks for providing the cpanel access, it should be fixed now and your site is up. There are few files missing which I added and that fixed the site. Let us know if it’s good on your end or still has some issues :)

    Best regards,

    Hi All,
    I’ve faced with the same error right after update my theme from 4.0.5 to 4.0.6 – http://newartcommunity.ru . Please, could you assist how to solve the issue? Should I try to reinstall the theme from the zip? Will all the setting be kept after reinstall?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,

    Can you please update Enfold to the latest version 4.0.7 via FTP – kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/ and check if that helps?

    @Alex I believe this was fixed on your installation. If you are still having issues, please start a new thread :)

    Hi All

    The site is down again! I updated it to the latest Enfold theme last week and it was fine, and now it is down again.

    Someone really needs to assist us with this. The site can’t keep crashing everythime there is an update.

    Otherwise we will need a refund from Envato and we will have to buy another theme that is stable.

    Same problem here. Installed Enfold and also get the http 500 error when i want to view the site.
    Also, when i disable enfold and do a live preview, all i see is a blanc page. The 500 error appears in google chrome, but on firefox the page shows totally white. Tried different standard theme’s and they all work well.

    Hi Bert2,

    /tmp has to be writable. You have to set the correct permissions.

    Hi ChrisSchutte,

    Which php are you running? Do you have any errors in you logs?

    Thank you for your support. I don’t know how to make /tmp writable or where to find it…..
    The error in line 33 of masonry_entries.php states if(!is_admin() && !current_theme_supports(‘avia_no_session_support’) && !session_id()) session_start();

    Hi my php and server details are below:

    cPanel Version 64.0 (build 24)
    Apache Version 2.2.31
    PHP Version 5.6.30
    MySQL Version 5.6.35

    The error log is attached (drop box link)

    Hi Bert2,

    At that point the script tries to write some session data to a file in /tmp and it cannot. That’s why it fails. You can do it via FTP or cPanel.

    Hi ChrisSchutte,

    Thanks for the log :)

    The file config-bbpress/config.php is missing, that’s why it fails. Please, get a fresh copy and put it /wp-content/themes/enfold/config-bbpress/.

    If you need further assistance please let us know.
    Best regards,

    Hi Victoria

    Thank you that worked!

    But why was that file not in there in the first place? I downloaded the latest Enfold theme and unpacked it directly into the Enfold folder – I didnt touch any files?

    Hi Victoria,

    Located the /tmp folder and selected the read, write an execute options for the folder and all the files and directories in that folder.
    Cleaned my cache and still same message. So no luck i’m afraid.

    At this moment php 5.3 but the domain will be transferred to php 5.6

    Hi ChrisSchutte,

    I’ve seen cases like that, sometimes during update the file copying process fails or gets interrupted for various reasons and the outcome is that some files go missing.

    Glad we worked it out! :)

    If you need further assistance please let us know.
    Best regards,
    Victoria

    Hi Bert2,

    The issue might be gone once you transfer to php5.6, though php7 is highly recommended!

    Best regards,
    Victoria
