Memory limited issue after updating to 45.2.0

Hi,

The method that we were using previously to detect the memory limit was sometimes showing incorrect values. Due to this, we replaced it with a more thorough check in the recent update.
The value you see now in the system status is the exact memory limit that is being set.

Thanks,

Thank you for coming back to me, @rohanvc . Any idea on how I should go about to set the memory to the required 256M?

I checked in wp-config.php and found:

define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);
define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );

Or is the memory limit referred to by System Status specific to the Visual Composer plugin?

Hi,

You can increase it via php.ini server file. If you do not have access to this file, then you can contact the hosting provider who can then update it in the file.

Thanks,

I’ll have to contact my host, as I found the memory_limit set to 40M in Home Directory and changed it, but I still get the same Memory Limit error in System Status.

Thank you for your time!

I’m having the same issue; it started for me in July 2023, but I haven’t really worked on any websites up until the last month. The memory is maxed out up to 2 GB at times. I have tried everything possible, and it all comes back to Visual Composer. I have submitted a support ticket and am still waiting. I really hope there is an urgent fix for this, as I literally can’t work on anything in the backend.

After the latest WordPress update, I do not seem to have the issue anymore.

WordPress memory limit: 256 MB

with no more warnings.

Updated Visual Composer to Version 45.7.0 this morning, and now we are back to the message “Memory limit should be 256M, currently it is 60M”

Everything fine in wp-config.php

define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);
define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );

and php.ini server file (memory_limit = 256M)

So it seems this is an ongoing issue.

I guess we will have to wait for the next update for either this plugin or WordPress / Woocommerce so the issue just disappears again.
