500 internal server error

Hi @nyadna,

Usually 500 internal server error occurs when the server is overloaded.

When you were publishing the shortcode it is possible that the server was overloaded at that time. Publishing a shortcode is same as publishing a normal post. So the crash can happen even when you publish a post.

I tried the same code at my end and there were no crashes.
Please do try again.

You might have also have to consider the recommendations in below page like increasing the PHP memory limit if the issue reoccurs.

Hi @nyadna,

That is strange. Only with debugging enabled I can find out the eact issue. I’m not able to see the issue on my side.

One thing I notice is that the single quote is a special character.
Not sure if wordpress/or any plugin is catching it as a security threat.

Please use the code below where the script has the normal single quote.

<script type='text/javascript' src='//s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.mailchimp.com/js/mc-validate.js'></script><script type='text/javascript'>(function($) {window.fnames = new Array(); window.ftypes = new Array();fnames[1]='MMERGE1';ftypes[1]='text';fnames[0]='EMAIL';ftypes[0]='email';}(jQuery));var $mcj = jQuery.noConflict(true);</script>

Thanks,
