500 Internal Server Error caused my a Wordpress plugin?

    I installed plugins for Wordpress and now when I go to my site, I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error, and when trying to log in to Wordpress Admin, it would also give me that error, I installed a bunch at the same time; which known plugin is known for scripting issues?

    I have no idea what this means.
    My Web host won't help b/c they don't offer support for third-party scripts.

    it sounds to me like your plugins may have screwed up your .htaccess file, it can happen if more than one plugin tries to modify it

    you can delete your .htaccess and start over with your plugins one at a time to find out which one caused the problem

    if deleting your .htaccess you still can't get into wp-admin, then you will need to delete the plugins out of your plugin folder and then try again

    hope that helps you out :)

    it is safe to delete, some plugins need it to work so they create it or alter it

    from your cp go to filemanager and look for .htaccess (you will need to enable "show hidden files")

    hope that I was able to help you out :)
