    Hi:

    I’m having an: [20-Mar-2015 22:18:56 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 802785 bytes) in ….. public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1113 (sometimes on line 1036)

    That error shows on my site’s error_log right after a post with a Fetch Tweets shortcode in it is viewed on the frontend.

    And sometimes, the post doesn’t load complete, it gets truncated.

    Using WordPress 4.1.1 and Fetch Tweets 2.4.6

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    What is your PHP version?

    Hi:

    PHP 5.4.27

    I have increased the memory limit from 64 to 128 to see if the errors go away. But I guess the plugin is consuming too much memory :/

    Can you try this and let me know what it says?

    1. Install the WP Page Load Stats plugin.
    2. Load a page without Fetch Tweets and copy the output of WP Page Load Stats.
    3. Insert the shortcode of Fetch Tweets into the same page and load the page. Copy the output of WP Page Load Stats.

    Thank you.

    58.46 out of 40 MB (146%) memory used.

    with shortcode:

    Hi,

    So the plugins uses the memory of 2.45MB and 6.36MB at the peak. It is not that too large I think.

    In your case, the site already uses 58.71MB at most, which is fairly close to 64MB, which was the limit of your site. Then Fetch Tweets added 6.36MB on top of it thus caused the memory exhaustion fatal error.

    You said you’ve increased the memory limit. I’d say that’s the best move you can take at the moment.

    If you have a suggestion on how the code of the plugin can improve to save the memory consumption, let me know. For discussions that involve technical details, you may post an issue on the GitHub issue tracker.

    Thank you!
