fatal error adding a new table

    Hi,

    when I try to add a new table or import a csv file I have the fatal error of the allowed memory size exhausted. I just installed the plugin and I couldn’t create not even one table.

    I cannot increase the php memory limit in the wp-config file because it’s already high, and I think I already reached the limit of my host. So far I never had problems with any other plugin, and I guess TablePress shouldn’t be that heavy!

    Are you aware of something else that could cause this problem?

    Thanks
    Daniele

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    That sounds strange, and I can’t really think of a reason for that. TablePress is actually trying to save memory wherever it can…

    Can you maybe post the debug information from the “About” screen of TablePress?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    thanks for that! From what I can see, your server should allow at least a memory limit of 256M, while your WP_MEMORY_LIMIT constant seems to be set to 192M.

    As a first try, could you maybe increase it to 256M?

    Hi,

    I just modified the wp-config file, is there some drawback about pushing that limit?

    By the way, now I successfully added a table. But still, I’m not sure this is normal. Plus now I am afraid I will hit the limit again.. What do you think?

    Regards

    Hi Daniele,

    no, there’s no real drawback of increasing this limit. What it does is simply to allow the PHP process the memory that it sometimes needs.

    Depending on the number and kind of activate plugins, that limit could otherwise be reached. If a used uses many plugins (or if the plugins have to deal with a lot of content or big content), this is actually rather normal and nothing to worry about. Chances that you will hit the limit again in the near future are rather small.
    Remember, just because the limit is higher, this doesn’t mean that PHP actually needs or uses more memory.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias, I’ve been creating several tables these days, and so far everything is working fine. Thanks for your support.
