WP_Memory_limit too high?

  • Hi,

    I just accidently saw that my wp_memory_limit is extraordanary high. Web suggests 256M.

    I do not know whether my former WebAdmin or my WebApp Provider has set such high values.

    define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘8192M’ );

    define( ‘WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘8192M’ );

    My VPS is 16GB, 2 plugin heavy websites are running with these settings. Not much traffic at the moment.

    Can this cause problems?

    Should I reduce it to 256M?

    Thx Michael

    memory is allocated per php process within the limit, if it happens somehow that process can take as much memory as allowed, i.e. with hugefile upload, then 2-3 processes can use all system ram and make server go swap and even freeze

    however this scenario is unlikely, but its advised to keep sane values for limits anyway
