fatal error: allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted

    I am getting this error when accessing the site and also when accessing the admin page. I did some research and the recommendation was to add a php.ini file with a memory setting which I did, but still got the error.

    Now that a few hours have passed, I’m no longer getting it, but want to make sure this was the correct fix and that there is not another one around.

    I have Formidable, print-o-matic and IthemesSecurity plug-ins installed which are all the plugins I have installed and activated. I was not getting this error until the past few weeks.

    This site is often accessed by members of the organization as well as web visitors and I can’t have them getting this error when the arrive on site. Usually a refresh brought it up, but I’m sure I had visitors leaving without doing that.

    Thanks in Advance for your time and consideration.

  • Increasing the memory_limit will prevent/stop the error. What do you have the memory limit set to now?

    128 KB – I didn’t want to go too large.There was no php.ini file in the folder at all, so I did have to create it. I presume the setting is a default of some sort?

    128KB or MB?

    Your host would know what the default server setting is. You could also create a file on your server with the following in it

    <?php phpinfo();?>

    Then go to the URL of the file and it will tell you a lot about your server. One will be the server memory limit (and then your setting for it).

    Just make sure you delete that file after you’re done as it is a security risk to keep it on the server.

    Correction to the above — it’s set to 256M. I created the php file as you suggested and took a couple of screen shots to review later. Deleted it after taking the screen shots.

    Lots of data in there to parse through.

    Thanks for your help on this.

    256 should be enough. If something is using more than that, worth investigating what is causing it.
