doc_holidayWP gurus, I need you to help me solve a mystery. I upgraded on Saturday to 2.8.6 and a couple of plugins, then yesterday my site developed the following well known run out of memory error:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 75497472 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 311296 bytes) in /usr/home/xxx/public_html/xxxx/wordpress/wp-includes/script-loader.php on line 301
I checked with my hosting provider, they allot 72M and this should be more than enough to run my site. Still, I went through with an FTP client and removed all but a couple of plugins like Askimet. I also removed my theme so it would go back to default. I am still getting this error. My install is all stock and I haven't done any custom mods to the core code... so I'm stuck on this mystery:
My questions:
* How does PHP memory work? Does it take time for the server to release the memory once it has been called on? The reason I ask is that removing my plugins and themes should have reduced the memory required right?
* Is there anything in 2.8.6 that might be causing a memory leak? I have looked on these forums and haven't seen a mention of one, but wonder if any would advising me to roll back to 2.8.5?
* Is there the odd chance that the issue is with my hosting provider? Another site I have with them works fine, so I have no reason to believe anything on their end could effect my site... but I'm grasping at straws now to try to get my site back up.
Thanks for any advice.
