Sabinooo, that’s exactly what 1and1 suggested. Apparently, I’m on an old server so I upgraded to a better package which includes 128MB of PHP memory.

Understood. Thx for the input.

Any ideas on what else I can try to get this site up and running?

So far, I’ve deleted ALL of the plugins from the server.

I deleted the /wp-admin and /wp-includes filer and re-uploaded them from a fresh download of the 3.8 version and did the same for the files that were in the root directory but still receive the same out of memory error.

My webhost suggested to remove the themes so I deleted the three default themes but still no change.

I’m stumped but am hoping there are some folks here that are much more versed in WordPress than I am that can help me get the site up and running again.

Pioneer, do you have any recommendations for a better webhost? I’ve been using 1and1 for the past 9 years and have many sites that are using WordPress without issues.

Well, unfortunately, I’m still unable to load the site nor login to the control panel. Any other ideas?

Thanks everyone. I didn’t realize the error was changing. I see what you mean that it’s now pointing to core files. I’m deleting the /wp-admin and /wp-includes and downloaded the 3.8 version and will re-upload those core files and the ones in the root directory to the server. Will let you know the results.

Is there a way to manually disable the plugins in the actual database? Would that work?

I tried adding

define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

and even tried define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘128M’);

to the wp-config file but that did not resolve the problem either.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated. This site has been down for 48hrs and I really need to get it back up and running.

Unfortunately, I only get 30MB of PHP Memory without switching to a Dedicated Server.

I have also tried all but step 1 because the webhost does not provide me access to the php.ini file.

1. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M. If your line shows 64M try 128M
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (32MB)

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

3. Try adding this line to your wp-config.php file:
Increasing memory allocated to PHP
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);

4. Talk to your host.

Ok, I have deleted ALL plugins within the wp-content>plugins folder and I’m still getting the error. I’m going to call 1and1 webhost to see if there is anything they can do.

I initially deleted all of the plugins directly from the server via FTP and refreshed the browser and even viewed the site in another browser but still received the same error so I put them all back on the server. I can remove them again.

Thx Yogi but as I mentioned, the host does not allow for memory to be increased.

Any ideas?

I ran into this one other time on another site I designed and I had contacted the host 1and1 and they said adjusting the .php file will not increase the PHP Memory. It is fixed on their end (probably 32MB). Why would I still receive the error even after deleting all of the plugins via FTP?
