   why would you add that? That is not what I told you to add

   add this
   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
   right after opening php tag

   I said that I have added define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

   after

   define('DB_NAME', 'contrari_wrdp1');

   but now I have moved

   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');
   right after opening php tag....

   reloaded the browser but the problem still there. the message shows up under the plugins, incoming links, and wordpress development blog in the dashboard

   :(

   if that doesn't work then you need to ask your host to bump your php memory for you

    thank you very much samboll.... I will call my host provider tomorrow and let you know of the out come.

    One more question... is it something that I should be worried about if they can't fix it or is it not a big deal? Basically what are the implications of it?

    Thanks again

    right now it's probably not a big deal - the simple-pie is used to bring announcements to the dashboard
    do your feeds still work?

    the problem is later as you add stuff to your blog, you will likely run into this error again and it will affect the front end as well

    here are other ways to do it, but usually if my method doesn't work, the host just doesn't allow it

    also, deactivate plugins to make sure one isn't messing with you

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

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

    Thank you very much Sambol for your detailed instructions....

    I have called my service provider to increase the memory and the error message was still there.... so I removed the plug in that I thought might be messing thigs up and it seems to fix the problem.

    Once again thanks for such detailed explanations and your time.
