Memory exhausted error: wp-includes/kses.php(1006)

The error normally occurs when PHP tries to process a big database records or when importing or exporting. To change the memory allocation limit permanently for all PHP scripts running on the server, modify the PHP.INI configuration file of the server (location depending on your OS and installation method). Search for memory_limit after opening the file in an editor. If the memory_limit doesn’t exist, add the following line. If it’s there, modify the value of the memory_limit:

memory_limit = 12M

…or whatever your site requires. Good luck.

Check out this thread (specifically the post by ‘parse’). That fixed this problem for me. The problem reappeared after upgrading to WordPress 2.8.2 and I had to go back and change the value to 64 again (the file appears to have been overwritten during the update).

Good luck.

before you attempt the php.inf fix, just try this, worked for me:

For fixing the “Allowed memory size”-problem, go to your wp-settings.php and change to the following at the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT directive (You probably have 32 there):

define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

Thanks usedwigs! That worked for me (got this note after automatic update to 2.9.2).

it is bad practice to change core files as they can be over written on upgrade

better to put same directive in wp-config.php
