Out of memory error when creating a new bbPress topic for existing posts

  • I get the following error when trying to create a new bbPress topic for existing posts:
    Fatal Error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 256 bytes) in /home/theautom/public_html/wp_test/wordpress_3_4/wp-includes/post.php on line 1876

    Is there anything I can do about this that doesn’t involve increasing the memory allocation(my host doesn’t allow that)?

    Thank you,
    Daniel

  • A 30 second forum search would have provided you with the solution for this. This is usually a site issue – not a plugin specific one. Try increasing the memory available to PHP.

    Like I said in my post, my host controls the available memory allocated to PHP. Perhaps I’ll try to look at the code and see if there’s a more efficient way to do this. Thanks.

    Hi dannyjarvis –

    Are you talking about the “Apply settings to existing posts” button? If so, you can probably reduce memory usage by reducing the number of posts processed per batch from the default of 1000. You’ll need to edit the bbppt_process_existing_posts() function in the plugin’s index.php file to do this. The relevant lines in version 1.8 are 1091 and 1101.

    You may have to try some different numbers to find a happy medium between memory usage and execution time, especially if your host doesn’t allow you to extend PHP’s max execution time.

    Where can I find the “Apply settings to existing posts” option? I don’t seem to see that anywhere. Nevermind – found it. For anyone that’s curious – it shows up once you select a default forum under Settings > Discussion > “bbPress Topics for Posts Defaults”
