Comment:

 Hi @dapike - So this appears to be an issue with your specific install,
 and not a widespread one in WordPress. That means the support forums are
 your best choice for help (trac tickets are for issues with WP core)

 Downgrading **can** be done, but it's very risky unless you have a solid
 backup and know how to restore it.

 Internal server errors (error 500) are often caused by plugin or theme
 function conflicts, so if you have access to your admin panel, try
 deactivating all plugins. If you don't have access to your admin panel,
 try manually resetting your plugins **(No Dashboard access required!! You
 don't have to be able to log in to do this!)**.

 https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-
 deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus

 If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you
 find the cause.

 If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the default theme for
 your version of WordPress to rule-out a theme-specific issue. If you don't
 have access to your admin panel, access your server via SFTP or FTP (
 https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/ ), or a file manager in
 your hosting account's control panel, navigate to `/wp-content/themes/`
 and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force
 the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific
 issue.

 If that does not resolve the issue, it's possible that a `.htaccess` rule
 could be the source of the problem. To check for this, access your server
 via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account's control
 panel, and rename the `.htaccess` file. If you can't find a `.htaccess`
 file, make sure that you have set your SFTP or FTP client to view
 invisible files.

 If you weren’t able to resolve the issue by either resetting your plugins
 and theme or renaming your `.htaccess` file, we may be able to help, but
 we'll need a more detailed error message. Internal server errors are
 usually described in more detail in the server error log. If you have
 access to your server error log, generate the error again, note the date
 and time, then immediately check your server error log for any errors that
 occurred during that time period. If you don’t have access to your server
 error log, ask your hosting provider to look for you.

 If you need further assistance, you should post about this in the forums.
