Wordpress Fatal Error: Allowed Memory Size of bytes exhausted (solved)
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.
If your RSS feed from Feedburner only display the excepts of your posts even after you have set your wordpress settings to “Full text” mode, just follow these steps:
