Updating Plugins generates ‘Memory Size exhausted’ Error

  • I have the following Problem:

    Whenever I try to update a plugin or theme, the update is completed successfully, but I receive the following errors:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /www/htdocs/w0197192/domain.de/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wfConfig.php on line 648

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 135168 bytes) in /www/htdocs/w0197192/domain.de/wp-includes/pomo/streams.php on line 118

    Additionally, both Updraft Plus and BackWPup are unable to generate Database Backups (the Rest of the Backup works fine).

    I have tried disabling different plugins in troubleshooting mode and surprisingly, once about half of the plugins are disabled, BOTH Plugin-Updates and Database-Backups work without errors (while still in troubleshooting mode). It seems, however, that there is no specific plugin that causes the issues, once it is activated.

    I have already increased the Memory Limit to 512 MB due to problems with white screen some time ago.

    Thanks so much in advance for your advise!!

  • I’m dealing with the same issue. I came across this article and added the code to my wp-config.php file and it fixed it, so now I need to dig deeper into why this keeps happening. Hope this helps

    Thank you very much for the advise! Unfortunately, the code didn’t really improve things for me, I received the following error for a change…

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 55924040 bytes) in /www/htdocs/w0197192/domain.de/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1999

    Warning: Attempt to modify property ‘skip_plugins’ of non-object in /www/htdocs/w0197192/domain.de/wp-content/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/classes/Sensors/PluginsThemes.php on line 1338

    Nontheless, if you are able to find a reason and/or solution for your issue, please let me know @wpdv !

    Thanks!
