   Hi there,
   I'm working on a large site with a large amount of pages, and some custom post types. Everything works fine as an Administrator, but as an Editor it's not possible to view pages (edit.php?post_type=page). I just got a white screen of death. Strangely enough, when I view a custom post tyope (edit.php?post_type=custom), it just works.

   - I cleared the whole database and it works.
   - I repaired the database in phpmyadmin (although I'm not sure if that was needed.
   - I tried deleting parts of the database, but I couldn't pinpoint a single entry that may have started the error. Even if there are just a few entries it will give the WSOD.

   Other WP Installs on the same server experience similar (but a bit different) errors when logging in with another User. So my guess is that it has something to do with the server configuration. I know the keep-alive was recently changed; but how would that explain the fact that it's only a problem with editors and only with 'pages'?

   Any help is much appreciated.

   Anything in the error logs?

   I found a solution. When I tried to turn on error logs (http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Configure_Error_Log) I saw the following code, which I added in wp-config:

   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

   Thanks esmi :-)

   Still curious, why does this only happen with an "Editor"? And is there a way to set to increase the memory_limit only when you are logged in?

   Not that I'm aware of. I can only assume that something in your theme or a plugin is kicking in for Editors only. Perhaps a role/user management plugin that you've used to extend Editor privileges?

   Even if I set different priviledges through a plugin the site 'crashes'. So I'm assuming wordpress needs more memory when you are logged with less priviliges... seems weird to me.
