    I just upgraded my website to wordpress 3.0. from 2.93. The site is going well. But suddenly on the backadmin found alert messages like this:
    ALERT – script tried to increase memory_limit to 268435456 bytes which is above the allowed value (attacker ‘125.160.119.222’, file ‘/home/sloki/user/xxxxx/sites/xxxxxxx.com/www/wp-admin/admin.php’, line 96) Expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT Last-Modified: Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:33:39 GMT Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 Pragma: no-cache Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

    so this is the line 96 :

    if ( current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) )
	@ini_set( 'memory_limit', apply_filters( 'admin_memory_limit', '256M' ) );

do_action('admin_init');

    Lowering this limit doesnt remove the alerts. Anybody experiences the same issue?

    WordPress 3.0 automatically attempts to increase the memory limit to 256mb if necessary when upgrading or installing plugins/themes. It’s possible that your server is configured to view this as a malicious attack. If you contact your hosting provider, they should be able to whitelist your domain.

    Thanks James, i just contacted the provider, and gave me the solution.
    memory_limits=250MB
    The alert is gone now. Thanks
