My first guess is that you’ve created a Google Alert that is sending back a rather large XML file.
That error is from the WordPress code, not the plugin. I’m guessing that it’s attempting to cache some of the information being sent from WPGAlerts and it’s running out of memory.
Depending on who’s hosting your WordPress, especially if it’s a commercial host like GoDaddy, they section off the ram memory and only allow you to use a portion of it. Once it’s filled and more information tries to get stuffed into it, you’ll get a crash very similar to that.
The solution on your end will be to create an alert that’s more limited in scope (fewer articles). You can click on the links to the XML feeds in the WPGAlerts menu and if you find one that’s huge, that’s probably the offending one. Might wanna delete it and you may want to ‘delete old articles’ afterward. If that doesn’t work, deactivating and deleting the plugin will clear everything from the wordpress database that WPGAlerts put in. Then reinstall.
Let me know which of these works so I know where that problem is coming from.
On my end, I really didn’t anticipate anyone loading extra large xml files from google. I’ll have to update the code and be sure to check the file size before it loads them.
Thanks for taking the time to report this, Rod
