Out of Memory Error: Have tried all suggestions with no luck

  • I am getting the following error message in the WordPress dashboard when trying to list the pages on my site by clicking on the “Posts” menu item:

    Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 66060288) (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /home/admin/public_html/manausa.com/tallahassee-mls/wp-includes/meta.php on line 198

    I have searched the forum and read above 150 threads. I have tried everything (see list below) and still am getting the error message. I have even sacrificed a chicken to the WordPress gods.

    I don’t want to try sacrificing body parts. Please, I need help!

    Information:
    -WordPress 2.9.2
    -PHP.INI memory: 64M (set by hosting company and no access to the file)
    -Over 1500 pages ( it’s a CMS site)
    -This happens only in the WordPress admin area, not on the site
    -The error is always in the meta.php file around the same line numbers

    I have tried:
    -Setting memory in .htaccess — prevents access to site
    -Setting memory in wp-config.php — same error message
    -Turn off all plugins — same error message
    -Talking to my host — will not change php.ini memory limit
    -Putting a \ini_set(’memory_limit’, ‘64M’);\ in the meta.php file — same error message
    -checked my php settings using phpinfo
    -Searched WordPress documentation and forum extensively
    -Searched via Google extensively

    Any help at all will be greatly appreciated!

  • Can you call your host and get them to up the limit in the php.ini file? That’s always the one that fixes the error for me and the only thing I can suggest, unless someone knows of some trick you can do with the meta.php file.

    Thanks, jessn. Unfortunately, I begged host company to up the limit in the php.ini file and they wouldn’t. ;(
