Style Blog Designs

This post is for people who have an error message when you try to log into your wordpress dashboard or any part of your wordpress admin page. Usually an error message “Fatal Error: Allowed Memory Size of … bytes exhausted (tried to allocate … bytes) in /home/… on line …”

The reason for this is because you have overloaded your php with tons of instructions by adding too many plugins and etc. It is a memory issue, so you would have to edit your wordpress settings manually.

Troubleshoot:

Step 1

First we must find the file wp-settings.php

You can use your online file manager that comes with your hosting account or like me, you can use a ftp client to locate your file in your hosting server. The file is probably inside the folder where you install WP.

Step 2

Once you find the file, you must open it for editing

Step 3

Inside the file, look for the line “define(’WP_MEMORY_LIMIT “

Depend on your original setting, some of you might see 8M, 16M or 32M.

Step 4

Just change that figure to double the original amount and saved it. (Overwrite the original file)

And that is about it.

If the error were to occur again some time later, it could be due to a Wordpress version updates that reset the changes back to the lower memory amount. 

This post is for people who have issues with your blog posting, usually getting only half your page to display or missing sidebars only in Internet Explorer.

The reason is because you have copy your text directly from MS Word and paste onto your blog post WYSIWYG post editor. Some “not-so-friendly” html code will be auto-included by the WYSIWYG editor.

Troubleshoot:

Step #1
Go and edit your faulty blog post, check the HTML code by selecting the “HTML” tab 
If you know how to read html, remove any funny HTML code that doesn’t belong there
If not carry on with step #2

Step #2
Go back to you Visual View by selecting the “Visual” tab
Activate all your mini icons first

Step #3
Select the whole article and cut (Ctrl+x) the whole post.

Step #4
Select the MS Words Icon, A text box will pop-up.

Step #5
Paste the code (Ctrl+v) into the text editor
Click on “Insert”, that’s it!

Summary

This error with IE7 will occurs because of the auto-include features of WP WYSIWYG text editor. Unlike Mozilla or Chrome browsers, IE browser behaves badly when they see the fuzzy formatting and assume it is bad programming and ignore the later posting.

Last but not least, if you were to copy any text from MS Words in future, do make use of the option available in the WP editor.
