“Memory Exhausted” error on my WordPress site

[ad_1]

If you’re seeing this error either suddenly (no specific task was done to cause the error) or frequently, try deactivating all plugins to rule out a plugin-specific issue and try switching themes to rule out a theme-specific problem.

Otherwise, here are three ways to increase PHP’s memory allocation:

  1. If you can edit or override the system php.ini file, increase the memory limit. For example, memory_limit = 512M
  2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini file, add php_value memory_limit 512M to your .htaccess file.
  3. If neither works, it’s time to temporarily ask your hosting provider to increase PHP’s memory allocation on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers temporarily allow users to increase the memory allocation. If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new one. We have some recommendations at https://projectdmc.org/hosting/

(in the above examples, the limit is set to 512MB)

Thank you for the helpful suggestions! I appreciate the guidance on troubleshooting the error and the tips for increasing PHP’s memory allocation. It’s always good to have these strategies on hand.
