Was doing local test for PHP update, then some live site pages down. Error 500
-
Hello, I was supposed to update the PHP version of our website from 5.x to 7.0. I used a plugin called UpdraftPlus to backup files(database, theme, plugin, uploads, others) from live site and restore those file in my local machine(XAMPP, Apache, local MySQL database).
I replace the urllinks, home link, and some hardcoded address value in the local database tables, from live site link to localhost. However, we I opened my staging site, there are still some pages pointed to live site such as login page.
Then, I checked the wp-login.php file and found that the link was code as ‘wp_safe_redirect( ‘https://’ . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] );’. I am not sure that if this the reason for those pages were still pointed to live site. Also, I am not sure that is this the reason that my live site worked correctly the day after I tested my staging site but then showed error 500 on the third day when I tried to log in. Something wired, only the login page and some other random pages showed Error 500, most pages worked correctly.
We are a nonprofit organization and since we cannot afford a professional web support technical team, we now have no idea happen during these works. We even have not yet started to update the PHP part.
It’s a long description of our website issue, appreciate your time and patient. Your suggestion and help mean a lot for us, thank you!
