Also, I backed up my entire site before I upgraded. Will restoring from this backup return me to 3.4.2?
Most likely, that would work fine, but as we don’t know how you’ve backed it up, we can’t tell you for sure.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 384 bytes)
That error message is telling us that WordPress is exceeding 128MB of memory, that’s a LOT of memory usage, at least 5x the normal amount.. It sounds like you have a plugin which is coded very badly for you to get to that point, I’d suggest you consider disabling your plugins to find the culprit before throwing the towel in and going back to 3.4.
To work out which plugin is causing the problem, you can open your wp-content/plugins/ folder in a FTP application, and rename the plugin directories until you find the problem one. For example, you’d rename ‘plugin-name’ to ‘plugin-name-old’ and then see if your site will load. Eventually you’ll find the one causing the problems.
I just updated to version 3.5 and got following error message. Any suggestions please?
Warning: Missing argument 2 for wpdb::prepare(), called in /home/imtideen/public_html/passivemasters.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-edit/wp-super-edit.core.class.php on line 114 and defined in /home/imtideen/public_html/passivemasters.com/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 990
Hi Susie,
Maybe you could ask your hosting provider if they can see what processes are taking much memory?
I did what Dion above suggested and found the plugin that was causing the problem. I have gotten rid of that and everything seems to be working OK. The offending plugin was front end users but I fail to see why that would increase the memory.
I am still antsy about keeping the 3.5 update in view of all the other bugs that are being reported.
My host was going to install the back-up but I have but that on hold for the time being.
When I am working in WP to post and the like, my Cpanel shows that my memory usage is 462 KB. Assuming I am converting correctly, that would be equivalent to 0.462 MB which should be well within the 128MB. Is that correct and can I assume the problem was in fact the front end users plugin?
I have no computer knowledge so I apologize for having to ask basic questions. Google has been my friend and I am making progress but I still find all of this daunting.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and help. It is much appreciated.
