  Hello,

  I am getiing 503 error message across my site.There is no such pattern or particular page for the error to occur.I have talked to the server team(we are using wp engine server) regarding the issue.They told me that it can be an issue related to the use of Advanced custom field plugin in the site,which I am using in various places in the site.

  It will be very helpful if anyone has any idea regarding the occurance of the error and any possible solution of the error.Thanks in advance.

  Hi @Debajyoti

  Can you please ask your server team why they came to this assumption? I am quite interested in what they have found.

  Please note that the ACF plugin is simply a GUI interface for data. It is most likely that the 503 error is coming from some troublesome code in your functions.php file, or perhaps a page template.

  This could be causing an overload of the server’s memory and would explain why it is shutting down.

  Thanks
