Hi WordPress,
I have the same error message with my host, Hostgator.
“Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated XXXX) (tried to allocate YYY bytes) in /home/username/public_html/wp-includes/media.php on line 253”
After several phone calls and emails to Hostgator’s technical department I quickly received the following response:
“This is being caused by the pixel size of the image using all of the available memory for the account. You will need to resize the image to be able to upload it without this error.” –> My account has 64mb memory apparently.
How can this be? I upload an image that is 3.5mb with a dimension of 3872×2592 and I get an error message in WordPress. Please note that the images do upload even though an error occurs. I can’t however resize the images at all.
I’m not completely satisfied with the Hosts error reasoning.
Doesn’t WordPress automatically resize images whilst uploading them?
I’m not really prepared to pay for premium hosting when the system crashes on a 3.5mb image upload.
I’d be happy to hear the communities thoughts.
I’m running WordPress 3.0.1 with AutoFocus+ Pro 1.3
