  • Hi spiros,

    Is that error occurring on the frontend (website) or on the backend (WordPress Dashboard) or on both ?

    Please log into the WordPress Dashboard and navigate to the Tools > Site Health menu option. Click on the Info tab.

    Under Server section check the values reported for:

    • PHP memory limit
    • PHP memory limit (only for admin screens)

    Under WordPress Constants section check the values reported for:

    • WP_MEMORY_LIMIT
    • WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT

    Sharing these memory values with the community will help us provide you with a solution.

    Back end only. Server limit was lower, I increased in php.ini for php 8 to 256M and now I can see the one’s below. Are they ok?

    Server
    PHP memory limit 256M

    Wordpress constants
    WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT 256M
    WP_MEMORY_LIMIT 40M
