Problem entering Dashboard: Fatal error: Allowed memory size

  • Had my site running for several weeks without problems; entered a number of pages. Suddenly, Today, got an error message after entering userid/password:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /mnt/web8/10/59/51978159/htdocs/historischeverenigingoud-schipluiden/wp-admin/includes/template.php on line 154

    This means I am stuck. Did look around a bit but found no clue why 16M is set as a limit.

    Found code that 32M would be allocated.

    Anybody having a suggestion to solve this problem?

    Hi Henk,

    I had a similar problem with a language plugin. Tried all the suggestions found the wordpress forums and none of them worked for me.
    Turns out it was an error in my bidzine theme.
    Deleted the old theme and started from scratch with the twenty ten theme.

    But first try these suggestions because 16mb is not enough these days, 64mb should work better. If none of these work, i would try a different theme.

    1. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
    define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

    2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
    If your line shows 32M try 64M:
    memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)

    3. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
    php_value memory_limit 64M
