The hint came from a mailing list, run by my web-space provider: operations-discussion.lists.hostsharing.net .
I am rather curious, whether this will help me fighting this warning:
…: [HS] Traffic-Warnung
Who has been causing excessive traffic on my WordPress? Just guessing … – bots, that use my blogs for training AI software.
Before I started upgrading that WordPress plugin I did not actually notice, that I exceeded my disk quota. Well, sh*t happens.
Once I was able to think clearly again, I wondered which files I could easily get rid of. WordPress backups. I saved my (recent) WordPress backups over to my NAS immediately (I do have a Rakefile entry for that), and I removed the WordPress backups on my WordPress host. Now there was enough space to “breathe” again sufficiently.
$ cd .../wp/wp-content/plugins $ mkdir tmp $ mv THE_CORRUPT_PLUGIN tmp/ # from here on your "HTTP ERROR 500" should be gone already # and your plugin appears as inactive on the plugins dashboard. $ cd tmp/ $ wget FRESH_VERSION_OF_THE_CORRUPT_PLUGIN.tar.gz $ tar xtf FRESH_VERSION_OF_THE_CORRUPT_PLUGIN.tar.gz $ cd .. $ mv tmp/FRESH_VERSION_OF_THE_CORRUPT_PLUGIN . # re-activate your plugin on the plugins dashboard!

WordPress 4.9 removed the bookmarklet functionality of “Press This“. That caused a lot of frustration and anger and fuzz. That’s where the horror started for the “Press This” addicts.
A few details on bookmarklets:
Some personal notes on using “Press This“:
As of 2017-11-29 outdated information:
After upgrading my WordPress installation to 4.9, the “Press This!” bookmarklets do not work any longer:
The WordPress bookmarklet was deprecated. Please delete it from your web browser.
Instead they offer you a utility (…/wp-admin/press-this.php), that is much more difficult to use.
So far I have been using the “WordPress cron” approach.
I have no idea, why the problem described above happens. But it confuses me a lot.
Maybe I am going to try the WP-CLI approach next.
