Welcome to a tutorial on how to create an on-screen numeric keypad using only pure Javascript. Yes, HTML has gotten a lot more powerful and convenient these days. We can even define a field that only accepts numbers, but there is just one problem with it…

It will only display an on-screen keypad with mobile devices, and we cannot customize it. So here it is, this guide will walk you through a simple and lightweight custom numeric keypad – Read on!

I have included a zip file with all the source code at the start of this tutorial, so you don’t have to copy-paste everything… Or if you just want to dive straight in.

If you start the Windows 11 installation with a USB bootable media and setup fails, then one or more files may be missing or damaged. The quick fix would be creating a new USB flash drive.

To create a Windows 11 USB flash drive, use these steps:

1. Open Windows 11 download page.
2. Under the “Create Windows 11 Installation Media” section, click the Download now button to save the file on the device.

3. Double-click the MediaCreationToolW11.exe file to launch the tool.
4. Click the Accept button to agree to the terms.
5. (Optional) Clear the Use the recommended options for this PC option.

6. Select the correct language and edition of Windows 11.
7. Click the Next button.
8. Select the USB flash drive option.

9. Click the Next button
10. Select the USB flash drive.

Quick tip: If the device is not in the list, click the “Refresh drive list” option to make it available.

11. Click the Next button.
12. Click the Finish button.

After you complete the steps, the Media Creation Tool will create a new setup media with the files to install Windows 11.

Windows Update is the recommended method to download and install Windows 11, but sometimes you may run into errors that can prevent your computer from getting the update.

Resolve PC doesn’t currently meet system requirements

If you get the message saying: This PC doesn’t currently meet Windows 11 system requirements, it means that one or more required components are missing, and unless you resolve them, you won’t be able to continue with the installation.

Usually, the setup will explain the problems blocking the upgrade. For example, you these or other reasons:

• The system disk needs to be 64GB or larger – The partition system partition needs to be larger than 64GB. If you have a device with limited capacity, you will need to upgrade the hard drive.
• The PC must support TPM 2.0 – If this is a modern device, the chances are that it has a Trusted Platform Module, but it might be disabled, you have a TPM, but it’s version 1.2, or it could be the case that the computer doesn’t have the security module

In addition to these, the Windows 11 setup may also complain about Secure Boot. If you have a device with UEFI and TPM 2.0, then the device is likely to have the Secure Boot feature.

Fix disk space requirement

To check the storage space on Windows 10, use these steps:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on Storage.
3. Under the “Storage” section, confirm the size of the drive.

If the drive is under 64GB, you will need to upgrade the storage. The system is referring to the maximum capacity, not the free available space.

Fix TPM 2.0 requirement

To check and enable the TPM 2.0 module on Windows 10, use these steps:

Warning: Changing the incorrect settings can make the computer unbootable. You should access the motherboard settings only when you have a good reason. It’s assumed that you know what you’re doing.

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on Update & Security.
3. Click on Recovery.
4. Under the “Advanced startup” section, click the Restart now button.

5. Click on Troubleshoot.

6. Click on Advanced options.

7. Click the UEFI Firmware settings option.

Quick tip: If you have a legacy BIOS, the option will not be available.

8. Click the Restart button.

9. Open the boot or security settings page.

Quick note: The UEFI settings are usually different per manufacturer and even per computer model. As a result, you may need to check your manufacturer support website for more specific details to find the corresponding settings.

10. Select the Secure Boot option and press Enter.
11. Select the Enabled option and press Enter.

12. Exit the UEFI settings.
13. Confirm the changes to restart the computer.

After you complete the steps, the security module will enable, and the computer should now meet the Windows 11 requirement.

Fix unexpected errors using Windows Update

In addition to the system requirements problems, you may also encounter Windows Update issues, but you can use the built-in troubleshooter to solve the most common issues.

To fix Windows Update to download Windows 11, use these steps:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on Update & Security.
3. Click on Troubleshoot.
4. Click the Additional troubleshooters option.

8. Under the “Get up and running” section, select the Windows Update option.
9. Click the Run the troubleshooter button.

7. Click the Apply this fix option (if applicable).

Quick note: If the “Apply this fix” option is not available, it does not mean the problem was not fixed. The tool will run a series of fixes, and if there is something else to repair, the option to apply the fix will appear.

8. Continue with the on-screen directions.
9. Click the Close button.

10. Restart the computer.

Once you complete the steps, the Windows Update settings should now operate normally to install Windows 11.

If you get the error 0xc1900223, it means that there’s an issue downloading the new version, and there’s nothing else you need to do. At a later time, the system will try to download it again.

Fix error 0x80073712 using Windows Update

When upgrading to Windows 11, you may see the error 0x80073712 message, which means that one or more required files are either missing or damaged.

Using the Deployment Servicing and Management (DISM) tool, you can resolve this problem to restore the system files to a known good state.

To use DISM to fix Windows Update, use these steps:

1. Open Start.
2. Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.
3. Type the following command and press Enter:

dism /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

After you complete the steps, the required files will be repaired, and Windows Update should start working to download and install the first semi-annual update of Windows 10.

Fix error 0x800F0922 upgrading with Windows Update

If you use Windows Update to upgrade your device, you may see the error 0x800F0922, which means that the computer cannot connect to the update servers or the System Reserved partition is too small or out of space.

Disconnect VPN session

Usually, you will see the error 0x800F0922 trying to upgrade to Windows 11 when a VPN connection is active.

To disconnect the VPN session, use these steps:

1. Click the network icon in the Taskbar.
2. Select the VPN connection.
3. Click the Disconnect button.

If you use another VPN client software, check the software vendor documentation for more specific instructions to disconnect the device.

Reside System Reserved partition

Third-party security software (for example, antivirus) can store data in the System Reserved partition that may cause a halt in the Windows 11 installation.

You can resolve this problem by using a third-party tool to resize the partition to make it equal to or larger than 500MB. Alternatively, you can choose to perform a clean installation. This process will not only fix the problem, but you will start the device with a new installation that can resolve other issues and improve system performance.

One of the biggest confusions with the new version of Windows is the new system requirements, and this is because they are different from the previous version, and it’s not clear what devices are compatible, causing a lot of confusion among users.

Windows 11 official requirements

Here are the minimum hardware requirements to install Windows 11:

• Processor: 1GHz or faster CPU or System on a Chip (SoC) with two or more cores.
• Memory: 4GB.
• Storage: 64GB or larger.
• System firmware: UEFI with Secure Boot enabled.
• Graphics: Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver.
• TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0.
• Display resolution: High definition (720p) display greater than 9 inches diagonally, 8 bits per color channel.

Confirm if device will run Windows 11

To confirm the basic hardware specifications on Windows 10, use these steps:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on System.
3. Click on About.
4. Confirm the processor, memory, and system type.

Quick note: The RAM has to be larger than 4GB, and the processor must be an Intel’s 8th Gen or newer or an AMD Zen 2 or newer. You can find more information on the processor compatibility in this guide. Also, the system type must be 64-bit since Windows no longer comes in 32-bit.

1. Click on Storage.
2. Confirm the hard drive is larger than 64GB.

You can also confirm the device hardware specifications on the manufacturer’s support website.

Once you confirm the hardware specifications, make sure the device has an enabled Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0. You can complete this task with these instructions.

Also, the new version of Windows requires Secure Boot. You can use this guide to check the feature state and the steps to turn it on as necessary.

Alternatively, you can run the official PC Health Check (download is at the end of the page) application to confirm whether your computer will run Windows 11. The tool will let you know precisely the compatible components and those that are not so that you can act accordingly.

What are WordPress Custom Fields?

WordPress custom fields are metadata used to add additional information related to the post or page you are editing.

By default, WordPress saves it into two different areas when you write a new post, page, or any content type.

The first part is the body of your content that you add using the post editor.

The second part is the information about that particular content. For example, title, author, date, time, and more. This information bit of the post is called metadata.

WordPress automatically adds all the required metadata to each post or page you create.

You can also create and store your own metadata by using the custom fields.

By default, the custom fields option is hidden on the post edit screen. To view it, you need to click on the three-dot menu at the top-right corner of the screen and select ‘Options’ from the menu.

This will bring up a popup where you need to check the ‘Custom fields’ option under the Advanced Panels. After that, click on the ‘Enable & Reload’ button to reload the post editor.

The post editor will reload, and you’ll be able to see the custom fields panel below the content editor.

Custom fields can be used to add any information related to the post, page, or any content type. This meta-information can be displayed in your theme.

However, to do that you will need to edit your WordPress theme files.

This is why this tutorial is recommended for users familiar with editing theme files. It is also helpful for aspiring WordPress developers who want to learn how to properly use custom fields in their own themes or plugins.

Having said that, let’s take a look at how to add and use custom fields in WordPress.

Adding Custom Fields in WordPress

First, you need to edit the post or page where you want to add the custom field and go to the custom fields meta box.

Next, you need to provide a name for your custom field and then enter its value. Click on the Add Custom Field button to save it.

The field will be stored and displayed in the custom fields meta box like this:

You can edit this custom field any time you want and then click on the update button to save your changes. You can also delete it as needed.

Now you can save your post to store your custom field settings.

Displaying Custom Fields in WordPress Themes

To display your custom field on your website, you will need to edit your WordPress theme files. If you haven’t done this before, then take a look at our guide on how to copy and paste code in WordPress.

First, you will need to find the theme file that you need to edit to display your custom field. Ideally, you would want to display it on a single post page. You will need to edit the single.php or content-single.php file.

You will need to enter your custom fields code inside the WordPress loop. Look for the line that looks like this:

You want to make sure that you add your code before the following line:

Now you need to add this code to your theme file:

Don’t forget to replace the key with the name of your custom field. For example, we used this code in our demo theme:

You can now save your changes and visit the post where you added the custom field to see it in action.

Now you can use this custom field in all your other WordPress posts as well.

Simply create a new post or edit an existing one. Go to the custom fields meta box and select your custom field from the drop-down menu and enter its value.

Click on the ‘Add Custom Field’ button to save your changes and then publish or update your post.

Can’t Find Custom Field in Dropdown on Post Edit Screen

By default, WordPress only loads 30 custom fields in this form.

If you are using WordPress themes and plugins that already use custom fields, then there is a chance that those will appear first in the drop-down menu and you’ll not be able to see your newly created custom field.

To fix this issue, you’ll need to add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin.

add_filter( 'postmeta_form_limit', 'meta_limit_increase' );
function meta_limit_increase( $limit ) {
    return 50;
}

The above code will change that limit to 50. If you still can’t see your custom field then try increasing that limit even further.

Creating a User Interface for Custom Fields

As you can see, that once you add a custom field, you will have to select the field and enter its value each time you write a post.

If you have many WordPress custom fields or multiple users writing on your website, then this is not an ideal solution.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could create a user interface where users can fill in a form to add values to your custom fields?

This is what so many popular WordPress plugins already do. For example, the SEO title and meta description box inside the popular All in One SEO plugin is a custom meta box:

The easiest way to do this is by using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin.

Adding Custom Fields Using Advanced Custom Fields

First thing you need to do is install and activate the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit Custom Fields » Field Groups page and click on the add new button.

A field group is like a container of a set of custom fields. This allows you to add multiple panels of custom fields.

Now, you need to provide a title for your field group and then click on the ‘Add Field’ button.

You can now provide a name for your custom field and select a field type. Advanced Custom Fields allows you to create all sorts of fields including text, image upload, number, dropdown, checkboxes, and more.

Scroll down, and you’ll see other options for that particular field. You can change them to your own requirements.

You can add multiple fields to your field group if you want. Once you are finished, click on the publish button to save your changes.

You can now edit a post or create a new one and you’ll see a new panel for your WordPress custom fields below the content editor.

For detailed step by step instructions, see our guide on how to add custom meta boxes in WordPress posts and post types.

Hide Empty Custom Fields with Conditional Statement

So far we have covered how to create a custom field and display it in your theme.

Now let’s see how to check if the custom field is not empty before displaying it. To do that, we will modify our code to first check if the field has data in it.

<?php 
 
$mood = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Mood', true);
 
if ($mood) { ?>
 
<p>Today's Mood: <? echo $mood; ?></p>
 
<?php 
 
} else { 
// do nothing; 
}
 
?>

Don’t forget to replace Mood with your own custom field name.

Adding Multiple Values to a Custom Field

Custom fields can be reused in the same post again to add multiple values. You just need to select it again and add another value.

However, the code we have used in the above examples will only be able to show a single value.

To display all values of a custom field, we need to modify the code and make it return the data in an array. You will need to add the following code in your theme file:

<?php 
$mood = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Mood', false);
if( count( $mood ) != 0 ) { ?>
<p>Today's Mood:</p>
<ul>
<?php foreach($mood as $mood) {
            echo '<li>'.$mood.'</li>';
            }
            ?>
</ul>
<?php 
} else { 
// do nothing; 
}
?>

Don’t forget to replace Mood with your own custom field name.

In this example, you would notice that we have changed the last parameter of get_post_meta function to false. This parameter defines whether the function should return a single value or not. Setting it to false allows it to return the data as an array, which we then displayed in a foreach loop.

Search Post by Custom Field in WordPress

WordPress’s default search doesn’t work with any custom field you have on your website. It only uses the content to find the post you are looking for on your site.

However, SearchWP changes that and improves your WordPress search. It’s the best WordPress search plugins and it goes beyond using just the post content and indexes everything, including WordPress custom fields, PDF documents, custom tables, text, files, and more.

You can adjust the search algorithm without editing code using SearchWP. Simply install the plugin and then head over to Settings » SearchWP from your WordPress admin area.

After that, go to the ‘Engines’ tab and then adjust the Attribute Relevance slider to set the weights givens to each attribute during search.

For instance, you configure the Custom Fields slider to maximum and adjust sliders for other attributes accordingly. This way, SearchWP will give preference to data in custom fields when searching things in WordPress.

Another advantage of using SearchWP is that works with some of the most popular custom field plugins like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Meta Box, and Pods.

For more details, you can go through our guide on how to improve WordPress search with SearchWP.

Displaying Posts with a Specific Custom Key

WordPress allows you to display posts with custom keys and their values. For example, if you are trying to create a custom archive page to display all posts with specific custom keys, then you can use WP_Query class to query posts matching those fields.

You can use the following code as a starting point.

$args = array(
    'meta_key'   => 'Mood',
    'meta_value' => 'Happy'
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
 
<?php 
// the query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args ); ?>
 
<?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : ?>
 
    <!-- the loop -->
    <?php while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
        <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
        <?php the_content(); ?>
 
    <?php endwhile; ?>
    <!-- end of the loop -->
 
    <!-- pagination here -->
 
    <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
 
<?php else : ?>
    <p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

Don’t forget to replace meta_key and meta_value parameters with your own values.

Add Guest Author Name Using Custom Fields

Do you want to add a guest post but don’t want to add a new user profile just to add a single post? An easier way to do that is by adding a guest author name as a custom field.

First, you need to add the following code in your theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin.

add_filter( 'the_author', 'guest_author_name' );
add_filter( 'get_the_author_display_name', 'guest_author_name' );
function guest_author_name( $name ) {
global $post;
$author = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'guest-author', true );
if ( $author )
$name = $author;
return $name;
}

This code hooks a function to the_author and get_the_author_display_name filters in WordPress.

The function first checks for the guest author’s name. If it exists, then it replaces the author’s name with the guest author’s name.

Now you will need to edit the post where you want to display the guest author name. Go to the custom fields meta box and add your guest author name.

For details, see our article on how to rewrite guest author name with custom fields in WordPress.

Display Contributors to an Article Using Custom Fields

On many popular blogs and news sites, multiple authors contribute to write an article. However, WordPress only allows a single author to be associated with a post.

One way to solve this problem is by using Co-Authors Plus plugin. To learn more, see our guide on how to add multiple authors on a WordPress post.

Another way to do that is by adding contributors as a custom field.

First, you need to edit the post where you want to display co-authors or contributors. Scroll down to the custom fields meta box and add author names as co-author custom field.

Now add this code to your theme files where you want to show co-authors.

<?php 
 
$coauthors = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'co-author', false);
if( count( $coauthors ) != 0 ) { ?>
<ul class="coauthors">
<li>Contributors</li>
<?php foreach($coauthors as $coauthors) { ?>
           <?php echo '<li>'.$coauthors.'</li>' ;
            }
            ?>
</ul>
<?php 
} else { 
// do nothing; 
}
?>

To display author names separated by commas, you can add the following custom CSS.

.coauthors ul { 
display:inline;
}
.coauthors li { 
display:inline;
list-style:none;
}
.coauthors li:after { 
content:","
}
.coauthors li:last-child:after {
    content: "";
}
.coauthors li:first-child:after {
    content: ":";
}

This is how it looked on our demo site.

Display Custom Fields Outside the Loop in WordPress

So far we have shown you all the examples where custom fields are displayed inside the WordPress loop. What if you needed to show them outside the loop? For example, in the sidebar of a single post.

To display the custom fields outside the WordPress loop add the following code:

<?php
global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
echo get_post_meta($postid, 'key', true);
wp_reset_query();
?>

Don’t forget to replace the key with your custom field name.

Display Custom Header, Footer, Sidebar using Custom Fields

Usually, most WordPress themes use the same header, footer, and sidebar on all pages. There are multiple ways to show different sidebars, header, or footer for different pages on your website. See our guide on how to display different sidebar for each WordPress post or page.

One way to do this is by using custom fields. Edit the post or page where you want to show a different sidebar and then add the sidebar as a custom field.

Now you need to edit your WordPress theme files like single.php where you want to display custom sidebar. You will be looking for the following code:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

Replace this line with the following code:

<?php 
global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
$sidebar = get_post_meta($postid, "sidebar", true);
get_sidebar($sidebar);
wp_reset_query();
?>

This code simply looks for the sidebar custom field and then displays it in your theme. For example, if you add wpbpage as your sidebar custom field, then the code will look for a sidebar-wpbpage.php file to display.

You will need to create the sidebar-wpbpage.php file in your theme folder. You can copy the code from your theme’s sidebar.php file as a starting point.

Manipulating RSS feed Content with Custom Fields

Want to display additional metadata or content to your RSS feed users? Using custom fields you can manipulate your WordPress RSS feed and add custom content into your feeds.

First you need to add the following code in your theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin.

function wpbeginner_postrss($content) {
global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
$coolcustom = get_post_meta($postid, 'coolcustom', true);
if(is_feed()) {
if($coolcustom !== '') {
$content = $content."<br /><br /><div>".$coolcustom."</div>
";
}
else {
$content = $content;
}
}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'wpbeginner_postrss');
add_filter('the_content', 'wpbeginner_postrss');

Now just create a custom field called “coolcustom” and add any value you like. You can use it to display advertisements, images, text, or anything you want.

Manipulate RSS Feed Title with Custom Fields

Sometimes you may want to add extra text to a post title for RSS feed users. For example, if you are publishing a sponsored post or a guest post.

First you add the following code in your theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin.

function wpbeginner_titlerss($content) {
global $wp_query;
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
$gpost = get_post_meta($postid, 'guest_post', true);
$spost = get_post_meta($postid, 'sponsored_post', true);
 
if($gpost !== '') {
$content = 'Guest Post: '.$content;
}
elseif ($spost !== ''){
$content = 'Sponsored Post: '.$content;
}
else {
$content = $content;
}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_title_rss', 'wpbeginner_titlerss');

Next, you need to edit the post where you want to display the extra text in the title field and add guest_post and sponsored_post in custom fields.

If any of these two custom fields are found with a value “true”, then it will add the appropriate text before the title. This technique can be utilized in various ways to fit whatever you like.

Set Expiration Date for Posts in WordPress Using Custom Fields

Want to set an expiration date for some posts on your WordPress site? This comes in handy in situations when you want to publish content only for a specific period like running surveys or limited-time offers.

One way to do this is by manually removing the post content or by using a plugin like Post Expirator plugin.

Another way to do this is by using custom fields to automatically expire posts after a specific time.

You will need to edit your theme files and add modify the WordPress loop like this:

<?php
if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post(); 
$expirationtime = get_post_meta($post->ID, "expiration", false);
if( count( $expirationtime ) != '' ) { 
if (is_array($expirationtime)) {
$expirestring = implode($expirationtime);
}
 
$secondsbetween = strtotime($expirestring)-time();
if ( $secondsbetween >= 0 ) {
echo 'This post will expire on ' .$expirestring.'';
the_content();
} else { 
echo "Sorry this post expired!"
}
} else { 
the_content();
} 
endwhile;
endif;
?>

Note: You will need to edit this code to match your theme.

After adding this code, you can add the expiration custom field to the post you want to expire. Make sure you add the time in this format mm/dd/yyyy 00:00:00.

Style Individual Posts Using Custom Fields

Want to change the look of an individual post using CSS? WordPress automatically assigns each post its own class which you can use to add custom CSS.

However, using custom fields you can add your own custom classes and then use them to style posts differently.

First, you need to edit a post that you would like to style differently. Go to the custom fields box and the post-class custom field.

Next, you need to edit your WordPress theme files and add this code at the beginning of the WordPress loop.

Now you need to find a line with the post_class() function. Here is how it looked in our demo theme:

Change this line to include your custom field value, like this:

Now if you examine the post’s source code using Inspect tool, then you will see your custom field CSS class added to the post-class.

Now you can use this CSS class to add custom CSS and style your post differently.

That’s all, we hope this article helped you learn more about WordPress custom fields. You may also want to see our ultimate step by step guide to boost WordPress speed and performance for beginners.

Add the INTERNET permission to your manifest file.

You have to add this line:

To perform network operations in your application, your manifest must include the following permissions.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

outside the application tag in your AndroidManifest.xml

For Internet Permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

For Access network state:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

For Access WiFi state:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />

There is such an abundance of WordPress tutorials, guides, and code snippets available on the web. They are all intended for users to try new things on their website and learn more about WordPress. Sadly a small little error can cause the whole site to break which is very scary specially for new users. If you were trying something new on your WordPress site and got a following error “Syntax error, unexpected…”, then don’t freak out. You are not the first one to receive the syntax error in WordPress, and you will not be the last one. In this article we will show you how to fix the unexpected syntax error in WordPress.

First thing you need to do is to look at the beginner’s guide to pasting snippets from the web into WordPress. This article lists some very common mistakes made by beginners when pasting code in WordPress templates. The syntax error is usually caused by a tiny but crucial mistake in your code syntax. A missing comma, or an extra curly bracket can break the entire script.

Did you recently paste a snippet from the web? Updated a plugin? Then chances are you know exactly where to look.

Fixing the Syntax Error Using FTP

Are you seeing 500 internal server error in WordPress? Internal server error is one of the most common WordPress errors. Since the error doesn’t give any other information, many beginners find it quite frustrating. In this article, we will show you how to easily fix internal server error in WordPress.

What Causes Internal Server Error in WordPress?

Internal server error is not specific to WordPress. It can happen with any website running on a web server. Due to the generic nature of this error, it does not tell the developer anything.

Asking how to fix an internal server error is like asking your doctor how to fix the pain without telling them where the pain is.

Internal server error in WordPress is often caused by plugin or theme functions. Other possible causes of internal server error in WordPress that we know of are: corrupted .htaccess file and PHP memory limit.

We have also heard internal server error only showing up when you are trying to access the admin area while the rest of the site works fine.

That being said, now let’s take a look at how to go about troubleshooting the internal server error in WordPress.

Checking for Corrupt .htaccess File

The first thing you should do when troubleshooting the internal server error in WordPress is check for the corrupted .htaccess file.

You can do so by renaming your main .htaccess file to something like .htaccess_old. To rename the .htaccess file, you will need to login to your site using FTP or File Manager app in your hosting account’s cPanel dashboard.

Once you connected, the .htaccess file will be located in the same directory where you will see folders like wp-content, wp-admin, and wp-includes.

Once you have renamed the .htaccess file, try visiting your site to see if this solved the problem. If it did, then give yourself a pat on the back because you fixed the internal server error.

Before you move on with other things, make sure that you go to Settings » Permalinks page in WordPress admin area and click the save button without making any changes. This will generate a new .htaccess file for you with proper rewrite rules to ensure that your post pages do not return a 404 error.

If checking for the corrupt .htaccess file solution did not work for you, then you need to continue reading this article.

Increasing the PHP Memory Limit

Sometimes internal server error can happen if you are exhausting your PHP memory limit. Use our tutorial on how to increase PHP memory limit in WordPress to fix that.

If you are seeing the internal server error only when you try to login to your WordPress admin or uploading an image in your wp-admin, then you should increase the memory limit by following these steps:

1. Create a blank text file called php.ini
2. Paste this code in there: memory=64MB
3. Save the file
4. Upload it into your /wp-admin/ folder using FTP

Several users have said that doing the above fixed the admin side problem for them.

If increasing the memory limit fixed the problem for you, then you have only fixed the problem temporarily. You still need to find the cause that is exhausting your memory limit.

This could be a poorly coded plugin or even a theme function. We strongly recommend that you ask your WordPress web hosting company to look into the server logs to help you find the exact diagnostics.

If increasing the PHP memory limit did not fix the issue for you, then you are in for some more troubleshooting.

Deactivate all Plugins

If none of the above solutions worked for you, then this error is most likely being caused by a specific plugin. It is also possible that it is a combination of plugins that are not playing nice with each other.

Sadly, there is no easy way to find this out. You have to deactivate all WordPress plugins at once.

Follow the instructions in our guide on how to deactivate all WordPress plugins without WP-Admin.

If disabling all plugins fixed the error, then you know it is one of the plugins that is causing the error.

Simply go to the WordPress admin area and click on ‘Plugins’. Now you need to reactivate one plugin at a time until you find the one that caused the issue. Get rid of that plugin, and report the error to the plugin author.

Re-uploading Core Files

If the plugin option didn’t fix the internal server error, then it is worth re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folder from a fresh WordPress install.

This will NOT remove any of your information, but it may solve the problem in case any file was corrupted.

First you will need to visit the WordPress.org website and click on the Download button.

This will install WordPress zip file to your computer. You need to extract the zip file and inside it you will find a wordpress folder.

Next you need to connect to your WordPress website using an FTP client. Once connected go to the root folder of your website. It is the folder that has wp-admin, wp-includes, wp-content folders inside it.

In the left column open the WordPress folder on your computer. Now you need to select wp-includes and wp-admin folders and then right-click and select ‘Upload’.

Your FTP client will now transfer those folder to your server. It will ask you whether you would like to overwrite the files. Select ‘Overwrite’ and then select ‘Always use this action’.

Your FTP client will now replace your older WordPress files with newer fresh copies. If your WordPress files were corrupted, then this step will fix the internal server error for you.

Ask your Hosting Provider

If all methods fail to fix internal server error on your website, then it is time to get some more help. Contact your web hosting support team and they will be able to check the server logs and locate the root cause of the error.

However it looks extremely unprofessional when they are visible to all your website visitors. In this article, we will show you how to easily turn off PHP errors in WordPress.

Why and When You Should Turn Off PHP Errors in WordPress?

PHP errors that you can see on your WordPress site are usually warnings and notices. These are not like internal server error, syntax errors, or fatal errors, which stop your website from loading.

Notices and warnings are the kind of errors that do not stop WordPress from loading your website. See how WordPress actually works behind the scenes for more details.

The purpose of these errors are to help developers debug issues with their code. Plugin and theme developers need this information to check for compatibility and best practices.

However, if you are not developing a theme, plugin, or a custom website, then these errors should be hidden. Because if they appear on the front-end of your website to all your visitors, it looks extremely unprofessional.

If you see an error like above on on your site, then you may want to inform the respective theme or plugin developer. They may release a fix that would make the error go away. Meanwhile, you can also turn these errors off.

Let’s take a look at how to easily turn off PHP errors, notices, and warnings in WordPress.

Turning off PHP Errors in WordPress

For this part, you will need to edit the wp-config.php file.

Inside your wp-config.php file, look for the following line:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

It is also possible, that this line is already set to false. In that case, you’ll see the following code:

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

In either case, you need to replace this line with the following code:

ini_set('display_errors','Off');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );
define('WP_DEBUG', false);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

Don’t forget to save your changes and upload your wp-config.php file back to the server.

You can now visit your website to confirm that the PHP errors, notices, and warnings have disappeared from your website.

Turning on PHP Errors in WordPress

If you are working on a website on local server or staging area, then you may want to turn on error reporting. In that case you need to edit your wp-config.php file and replace the code you added earlier with the following code:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true);

This code will allow WordPress to start displaying PHP errors, warnings, and notices again.
