After I install any theme, Wp-admin stops working

    My wordpress site is vaporizerireland.ie

    Themes are installed successfully for me, but once I press activate, it says: “The vaporizerireland.ie page isn’t working”

    The URL in my browser when this happens is “http://vaporizerireland.ie/wp-admin/themes.php?activated=true”

    So then when I go back to the home page of my site, I can see that the theme has actually installed and is working, but when I try to access WP-Admin, I am again met by: “The vaporizerireland.ie page isn’t working”

    I have tried lots of different themes. The only ones that worked and gave me access to WP-Admin are the default ones, “Twenty Sixteen”, “Twenty Fifteen” etc.

    So every time this happens I have no choice but to FTP into my web host, and rename or remove the new theme I had just installed. Then I can access WP-Admin once again.

    I’m completely stumped. I’m new to WordPress so any help would be really appreciated

    David

    Please turn on debugging

    See https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUG

    Enable WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG then check wp-contents/debug.log to see what might be going on.

    Here is the log:

    How would the memory be exausted?

    How can I resolve this?

    Apparently, you have only 41,943,040 bytes (40MB) allocated to WordPress. Give it more memory:

    Here’s some good things to try:

    Try for 128MB and see if it helps

    Thanks, I contacted my host, and they allocated more memory in the php.ini file

    So that’s what the problem was, if anyone else gets something similar

    Thanks a million for the help, much appreciated
