Three days ago, got an email letting me know that my site (in development) auto-updated to 6.2. Tried to log in yesterday to work on it, only to find that the site is down. Enabled debug mode, and got the standard error message–
**Fatal error**: Allowed memory size of *67108864* bytes exhausted (tried to allocate *xxxx* bytes)…
I got two of these, one referring to a plugin, so I disabled the plugin folder, and now I’m still left with one of these, which constantly bounces around on refresh between various lines of code in:
**/wp-includes/class-wp-dependencies.php** *(line 260)***/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php** *(line 308)***/wp-includes/class-wp-scripts.php** *(line 523)*
​
I’ve tried adding to my wp-config.php the conventionally-reported bandaid fix for this:
define(‘WP\_MEMORY\_LIMIT’, ‘512M’);
but it does nothing. That line had to be added, as it wasn’t in the config to begin with.
All the help I’ve seen in my research requires me to either contact my host to ask them to increase the memory limit on my php, add the above line in the config, or restore a backup (which I don’t have).
Is there a simple solution I’m missing? Should I run the installer again? Rename the themes folder or something like that? This is a completely new problem I’ve never dealt with before and I’m at those familiar crossroads of annoyed and exhausted. This feels like there’s one dumb little bug that’s causing this, I just want to squish it and move on. To make things just a bit more annoying, the auto-generated email that’s supposed to help me (*”Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”*) is not showing up, despite other site admin emails coming through as usual.
Thanks so much for any help you can offer. 🙂
