Fatal error: Out of memory…

    I removed my background image and tried to upload a new background. Received the following message:

    Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 27787264) (tried to allocate 1920 bytes) in /home/d/e/*****(removed)*****/public_html/wp-includes/media.php on line 254

    I have changed the maximum size settings in Media Settings. I can upload small images to the blog but not the background image.

    I cannot find a php.ini file.

  • Try increasing the memory available to PHP:

    hi Esmi. I have read that page but there was so much conflicting information between the posts that I do not know which to follow.

    I cannot find a php.ini file. (That seems to be one of the most often referred to solutions)

    There does not appear to be a .htaccess file on the server. If I create one with just
    php_value memory_limit 32M
    in it, will that work?

    I really appreciate your assistance. Chris

    I tried to add to wp-config.php (as suggested by brmecham)

    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

    but it made no difference.

    Try contacting your hosts for assistance.

    Esmi,

    I worked around the problem by creating a very low resolution image file which then uploaded. I then replaced with the larger resolution file this using Dreamweaver.

    Thanks for your help.
