If you’re seeing this error either suddenly (no specific task was done to cause the error) or frequently, try manually resetting your plugins to rule-out a plugin-specific issue and access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/
and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the Twenty Ten theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.
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 = 256M
2. If you cannot edit or override the system php.ini
file, add php_value memory_limit 256M
to your .htaccess
file.
3. If neither of these work, it’s time to ask your hosting provider to temporarily increase PHP’s memory allocation on your account. Keep in mind that most decent hosting providers allocate 32 MB to PHP under each account, and most decent hosting providers allow users to temporarily increase the memory allocation. If your hosting provider won’t accommodate you, perhaps it’s time to find a new hosting provider.
