Fix 500 Error on WordPress

Job ID: 40620547

Budget: $2 – $8 USD

An unexpected 500 Internal Server Error now appears the moment the homepage is loaded, while the admin area still works fine. I have not installed new plugins, updated existing ones, or changed the theme recently, so the trigger is unclear.

What I need right away is a concise, root-cause fix that brings the front-end back online without touching unrelated parts of the site. Feel free to use any standard troubleshooting approach—error-log inspection, .htaccess review, plugin/theme conflict checks, PHP version adjustments, or server configuration tweaks—as long as the result is a clean, stable homepage.

Deliverables
• Error resolved and homepage fully accessible
• Brief summary of the issue found and the exact steps taken to fix it (so I can reference it later)

No ongoing maintenance is required; this is a one-off repair. I will provide WordPress, FTP/SFTP, and hosting-panel access as soon as we start.
